It was a big CL hit day for me... With a problem

[Thin Blue Smoke]

What a day. First I hit on this:

as my first red. This is my first restore project.

Then, with the help of family, I scored this


The problem - The SS is in South Carolina and I am in Chicago!  Any of you have experience with shipping one of these in a cost effective way? It might be a while for me to try and drive it myself......

You rocked out today!

Great day for sure! No idea on shipping that sorry..

Nice pickups!

While those are certainly nice grills, the one in South Carolina is going to cost a mint to ship.  I am working out some details on shipping a simple cast iron grate and it is looking like 20 plus.  I would expect to drop 70 + to get it to Chi.  Add to that it will have to be taken apart and find a box to put it in.

The shipping companies all have shipping calculators on their web sites. Check it out for yourself.

LB - I hear ya. It is a great gesture on my family's part. Fortunately, it has a place to stay if it needs to until I can get it in person. I just would love to have it here before that.

Greyhouynd freight is a cheaper way.  That was the shipment method for my Sequoia.  Everything wokred out great!

Agree Harris - thanks for reminding me. I shipped a pair of Tympani across country on Greyhound once. Talk about your odd-size package, but as long as they fit under the bus they were happy to take 'em for a ride for a lot less than the guys in trucks.

Thanks for the suggestion of Greyhound. I will check to see if that is an option.
