yellow freight sounds like the answer to me.  why don't you find a business
owner that will let you us their address to ship to you.  And if you can't
find one to ship from, put a ficticious return on it if you have to, eh?

Thanks to all who responded but I need a cheaper solution. Amtrak has a 50#
maximum, Greyhound has a 100# max., and Yellow Freight only gives their
special $100 engine rate to business-to-business customers. I maybe able to
use a Mexican-USA bus line that goes from Albuquerque to LA for about
$.35/lb
but I don't think they were clear with what I wanted to do (no habla
english). Any other advice appreciated.
