OT: Shipping a large, heavy crate

FWIW:

I'm in the process of using freightquote.com's service
to do this very thing. I signed up for my corporation
but I don't normally ship a large amount of stuff; I
have a bunch of older AS/400 gear I'm trying to sell
off.

I have a pallet of 650 pounds (U.S.), standard sized,
quoted to ship from Roanoke to Illionis for $184 with
3 day delivery. On Monday I'll find out if the
shipping company (Central Transport International)
will pick it up on time; on Thursday or Friday I'll
find out if it got destroyed enroute (which is what
insurance is for!).

I'll post an after-action report once I find out how
it went.
