good shipping company for kayaks?

[boxturtle]

Brother is moving from new york to cali and wants to get his xfactor shipped......anybody knows a good shipping company?

I checked my airline to see if they allow kayaks and they don't. Was going to offer to let him bring it with me since I'm leaving for NYC and coming back in 2 weeks. Guess most airlines let you bring it for a fee.

Did he check if his allowed it?

Makes more sense to sell and re buy.

[momo fish]

Yup that's what I would do. Especially since you can get more $ on east coast.

[GTboosted]

Better of selling it. I can't imagine shipping being under $500.

Ya, sell the Xfactor in NY and buy a yack he can fish from in SoCal.

A Hobie.

D'oh!

Forward Air no longer accepts Non Inflatable Watercraft except from certain companies such as ourselves due to our track record with no claims.

We shipped a boat with Pilot recently and they were fairly reasonable and quick (330 for a Pro Angler 14 with 2 large boxes going with it, shipped to Florida).

ABF YRC and Old Dominion are the other popular companies that are used. It should run 200-300 to ship especially if you go LTL.

My outfitter was shipped Old Dominion Freightline from the east.

Old Dominion or Pilot are both good company's. Have friends in both and no, can't get you discount but good thought.

He rather not sell for him I guess its a sentimental thing thanks for all the suggestions
