Shipping

Chad - 

In my opinion, the best and cheapest way is to use "FEDEX Ground." 
However, there seems to be some differences between offices.  The correct 
"class" of shipping is "OS2" or "Oversize 2."  This is important because 
it describes box dimensions that exceed normal shipping, but for less than 
50 lbs in weight.  One FEDEX manager showed me the description.  It should 
cost around $35 for the shipping.  If they quote you something outrageous, 
be direct and ask to read the OS2 category of shipping.  It is pretty 
simply stated, something like, "for packages that exceed X dimension 
overall, but are less than 50 lbs, use this price, etc."

Anyway, make sure they give you the 'correct' shipping category or it 
could be very expensive.

I want to ship my planes from Muncie to near the US/Canada border after 
the Nats to avoid hauling them across Canada for another contest.  What is 
the best (cheapest) company to use?  Two boxes 80"x20"x12" about 30 lbs 
each.

Thanks in advance

Chad
