You should check with fastnel.  They do a service between there locations.  I hear it’s a pretty good deal and pretty quick.

The local freight company depot was about 40 miles away from my house and I had to go there to pick it up.  The item was on a pallet and weighed about 100 to 150  pounds.  Forgot about what they charged to ship , but was thinking around 100 to 200 dollars.

The two items weight about 70 pounds each so the total pallet weight was around 150 pounds.   There is a company just down the road about ¼ mile and the truck driver called and asked if I could pick it up at the company parking lot as he was in a big truck and it would be difficult for him to get in my driveway and back out again.  I took my pickup and met him at that company.  I don’t recall the shipping for that either.
