Ya, as mentioned below, you are parcel eligible. That means UPS, FedEx, and the like.

I am from Tewksbury, MA and shipped 800 lbs to Green Bay for around $210. I went with Ross Express headquartered in Penacook, NH. They use pallet rates. That means anything that will fit on a pallet and is under 2000 lbs. 200 lbs goes for the same rate. If you are shipping out of New England, ask for "logistics" to get your cost. Otherwise, speak to the account rep for your area. I think NH has several depending on location. One day shipping to anywhere in New England.

The buyer and myself tried to get a reasonable rate from the "Hauling Schedule" on this site. The prices were rediculous. Mostly around $500.

The shipping companies will ship door-to-door if you let them know that both parties can load and unload. If that is not possible, they will hold the item at the terminal or charge you for a delivery with a power tail-gated truck. It's your option. They will ask if you and the consignee are businesses. Just tell them that both parties have loading equipment. That is all they want to know.
