Talk to Brett, he has friends/relatives that seems to come and go from there every week or so. Thats how we had three heads shipped.

I've used Canadian Freightways in the past, they are priced right and are located fairly close to you. You just have to put the items onto a pallet.

I have a spare pallet, spare CR head to start you off with.

DHL should take it, that's how mine came from PDR a couple years ago. Just needs to be crated well.

That is a good price, even if you could have gotten GH or DHL or ect... to take it, they would have charged you well over $100

Contact byers/CF.

They run back and forth all the time, just be 100% sure to get a quote, or they'll hammer you with 60-grit lube.

They have done fairly well for me in the past couple years.

Also, for you folks needing stuff truck shipped from the states, check out Duckering's. So far, they have been beating up on anyone else' prices for larger items.
