Mouton

Hey Im looking at the possibility of shipping a frame to Vancouver from CA. The UPS and FedEx websites have been really useless for getting an estimate. They keep saying that a box 10x24x42 that weighs 10 pounds is Freight, in the same class as full container loads! WTF? So Im asking, dear forum members, have you ever done this? How did you do it? and about how much did it cost? Any caveats?

Thanks
A
