R + L carriers was the cheapest option for me. I believe they’re on river rd. Put it on a pallet (or they might put it on a pallet for you) and ship it that way. cheap and fast. someone on here works there, I remember seeing a modded black wrx in the employee parking lot with a custom plate of someone who’s username was on here, err, on ubrf, but I dont remember at all who it is ---

Yes, many carriers will pick up at your door. But since you are pretty much a walk in customer, they will charge you up the nose for a pickup service (especially at a home). Your best bet is calling around the various places on river road and dropping it directly there on a pallet. Strap it to the pallet. Ship it to a hub or a business address with a loading dock, anything residential is going to be 75-150 dollars more. Depending on the weight of the motor, and you won’t be getting a discounted rate, expect to pay 300-400 bucks. ---

go to [freightquote.com](http://freightquote.com), they will find u the cheapest carrier to ship with, & u have to pkg it(strapping it to a pallet is best) & dropping it at the trucking terminal(they can get off ur truck w/a forklift) & shipping to a business will all be cheaper. ---

he doesnt need to ship it, he needs it picked up in VA and brought here… Dave, I sent you a pm with the rates…i may be able to do a little better if you can get me some more info…and try to avoid the residential pickup and liftgate charges…they can KILL a price real quick, especially since those and fuel surcharges are non discountable. The rate i sent you was nearly 70% off! have him get it to the terminal or a business with a dock and i can knock almost another $100 off the price!!
