Smoker Shipping Cost

[dinosaur]

Could anyone tell me about how much it should cost to ship a 600 lb smoker 750 miles?  I was given a price of $550 and this seems high to me but I don't know for sure.  Any opinions?

That sounds a little high, I would call a bunch of shipping companies to get a good average price.

You can figure freight charges on UPS or check the zone charts there. I'd imagine FedEx would have the same options on their site.

My 1600 lb smoker went 300 miles for $750. So you may not be far off at $550 and 750 miles.

Had my 1 ton trailer smoker loaded into a semi tractor/trailer unit and brought 1200 miles for $1100. No wear and tear on the smoker this way. You can go to www.uship.com and put in a request for bids and see what you get. Only problem is you don't always know who you are dealing with. I went with a actaul ltl trucking company and paid a little more but the peace of mind was worth it.

Do alot of shopping around it's worth the time.
