we shipped one from our commercial business in maine to a customer in washington state.. it was a flat fee of 325 for the shipping
Summit,
So forgive my ignorance on how this works, but by flat rate do you mean that's what it would cost no matter where it went in the US?

Anytime I need anything hauled I use freightquote. If you'd like to check pricing, go to their website which is www.freightquote.com and get their 800 number from the site. Call them, explain you are a one time shipper, tell them what you have, they will determine freight class etc. What you will need for them is the pallet size, including width, length, and height, & weight of loaded pallet, (guess heavy, you don't want to be underweight) whether or not you can load it for the truck driver or if they need to bring a liftgate truck, and the zip where they pick it up & drop it off. In about 5 minutes though they'll provide you with about 1/2 dozen quotes. I've got a couple accounts with different companies and neither has ever beat freightquote since I started using them 5-6 years ago. Hope this helps....
