No joke on the big lots.  I once needed some equipment that came in a pallet
of 120 or so items.  I had to drive to from denver albuqueque to pick up the
entire pallet on a trailer at a very specific time and then figure out what
to do with the 116 units I didn�t need.

Shipping can be very expensive to very reasonable depending on the transport
company and how much of the paperwork you clear first.

Not for the faint hearted not familiar with military DRMO operations.
