Pretty reasonable costs especially considering that it is coming halfway
round the planet.
The only shipper I have experience with, except for an independent that
dragged a couple of Innocenti shells up from Florida, has been Intercity
http://www.intercitylines.com/ I used them 4 times as a buyer and once
as a seller. No problems at all and costs were level over the years. I
would expect that current prices would reflect our record fuel prices
now in effect though. Deep South to New England and California to New
England were around $1,200. in 2004.
And once again, I have to say, that is a very cool pickup.
