Stan,
Thanks for the link, I believe this was the one I have been searching for.
I saw a guys classified add and he was touting he could send really big
heavy stuff like
sliding doors and rear doors, and rear bench seats anywhere in the north
America for $85 bucks!

How much experience have you had with them?  I was trying to buy a sink
fridge unit from a guy back east but we were stumped as to how to get it out
here.

Thanks,

Doug
