I moved a vortec 5.3L V8 plus the 6L80 transmission using Fastenal. Worked fine! Has to be strappable to a pallet. I don’t know if I’d trust them with a teletype, however. Much more delicate than an engine and transmission.

Fastenal used to offer freight shipping if there was a Fastenal at the location you needed to send to. I think it had to be on a pallet and secured, but it was more economical than most. Also, Greyhound used to be the original overnight
shipper and they still ship freight, but not sure they are as inexpensive as they used to be.
