Re: forward air

Jess,
        Did you see my post about LandAir Express?
They said they would be more than glad to ship video games. Less than 24
hours after I talked to them, I had a game on their dock. Their Denver
number is 329-0795, they did say that if you wanted to ship lots of stuff
you would need to set up an account, they are the friendliest shipping
company I have talked to yet.
