Re: best shipping source for large items
I think that the best solution would be to ship it to me in Kansas City, half the distance and half the price !! I have a TT bed that I am going to convert but would love to have an AA express to start with.
I have heard that for large items one of the cheapest ways to ship is via greyhound bus line. I have not tried it but have read about people who have done it and said it worked well. Don't know about size limitations but there is a lot of space under those buses. So you might give them a call on the cost to ship to Kansas City !!
Hope that helps

I tried to buy some hardware from Fasternal. They wouldn't accept cash and would only sell to registered customers with an account. Screw them.

Unless you go after it yourself - that is cost prohibitive to crate for commercial drop shipping & ship.
