  Has anyone done it? I Googled it and didn't get much here. uship had an example.  From east coast to western Illinois.

Is there a Fastenal store on each end ?

crating is not fun, but is the most affordable way to ship.  Best part once you have an estimate of the weight and dimensions you give it to the buyer and they can pay at fastnal and email you a label.  I liked that.  They were pretty professional.

I did read mixed reviews.  Take lots of pictures, and document the whole drop off process.  Label the crate too.

 I'm thinking, ROAD TRIP! It's only 1/2 way across the country. I did here to Denver in one day and Denver to LA the next. Why not?

I had one shipped in. The seller used a mini pallet and just strapped it down. No box. A machine shop that does irrigation pump repairs for the agriculture industry had some of these mini pallets laying around so they are available.

How about a relay?

 Thanks for the info, there are a couple ideas that could work. I haven't had an adventure this year either.
