Hi,

I've never needed to ship anything very heavy; UPS usually works.
But if I'm considering having some wood shipped to me, how should I
begin to estimate what the cost of freight would add to its price? How
do you find a freight company and the company with the best rates
(assuming they're a commodity and you should always go with the lowest
rate...?)?

Call Jim Williams at Freightquote.com, tell him that Igor mentioned
him (I get no commission here, but I like him a lot, he gives
fantastic rates). I ship a lot of stuff that I sell on eBay, through
him.

For example, it cost the buyer $167 to ship a 500 lbs pallet with
three PP-1104C/G power supplies, from IL to East Coast.
