OT: Crating/shipping company

[newmoon]

Hey guys,
I need to send a HUGE statue for someone, but I dunno about a company here in Miami that can ship it out. The statue would need to be crated and shipped by freight. I searched on the Yellow pages but no luck yet. Does anyone knows a good company to use?

thanks!

For shipping I have used ForwardAir to get some large items from Colorado. They don't pack though.

I had a Cardiff fishtank sent to me via freight. It got lost for over a month but it made it accross the US without a scratch. The company was YRC; it was pricey though - it ran $230 for 170 lbs.

I also sent the stand for my Oceanic 144 half circle to NY, strapped on a pallet with $10 straps from Walmart and it made it there without any incident in 2 days. I think the guy paid around $150 for it (200 lbs.), but I cant recall the name of the company that picked it up (he arranged it). I already pm'd him for it. As soon as he replies I'll post it.

I have experience with PakMail in Boca and I know they do a ton of art shipping (paintings, ming vase's, stuff like that) all over the world. I don't know if there is one down by you, but I do know they do free pick up.
