Re: forward air

Yea, I was trying to ship a game through them.
I called them again last week and he told me that Forward Air will NOT ship
video games any more. He told me this was a company wide policy, so if you
can get something out through your local forward air depot, I recommend
doing it now. If they already have that policy in place, crate it up real
good and say it's a fridge.

I ended up using Land Air Express. When they gave me a quote, he asked me
what forward air was going to charge and he just picked $20/100 lbs. When I
took my game in, they provided the palette and the plastic wrap, I brought
along a bunch of cardboard and we wrapped it all up. He asked me if I was
given a quote and I told him what it was, so it ended up costing me $100 to
ship a 488 lbs. star wars cockpit from Denver to Texas.

They have ports in TX (lots of them), IL, MO, CO, MI, TN, OK, NE, UT, KY,
KS and Toronto. They told me I would need to get an account if I wanted to
ship any more games.
Their main location is in KY, and their number is (502) 781-0655.
