Airborne Express is the cheapest rates I know of: Airborne Express - Rate Comparison http://sbw.airborne.com/CompareRate/CompareRateInfo.asp Just enter your Indiana open fields origin zip of 46131 & our SF Bay south area destination zips of Santa Cruz 95065, or Monterey 93940, or San Jose 95112 = $358.77/150 lbs. Santa Cruz 95065, or Monterey 93940, or San Jose 95112 = $117.00/50 lbs. For our usual 500 lbs, that works out to 3 x $358.77 + $117.00 = $1193.31, or $2.39/lb. We also need to figure in the additional cost of the shipping boxes. Any thoughts? Art
