Delivery recommendations for motor swap on pallet

[Compactive]

I'm looking to purchase an M52 or S52 pretty soon from a bfc forum member. I have to figure out how I would want it shipped and delivered. I am considering conway, or any other delivery service of that kind.

Anyone have any suggestions/recommendations on who to go to, and how much to expect to pay? I would like it to be delivered to my residence.

anyone have a motor delivered from up north to the MAR? thanks

A local forum member? Have you considered renting a pickup truck? You'll need an engine hoist anyway (and they're cheap at harbor freight). All you have to do is lay it down on a tire.

ooops, I didn't mean local as in my area, but local to the forum. I corrected OP

I had a good experience with R+L carriers -- I'd use them again and I reccomend them. Free lift-gate services and they deliver to residences. I think I paid $225 to ship a palleted engine from Baltimore to NC.

Awesome, I will check it out, thanks.

Alright, here is what I have so far for R+L

Am i doing it right?

R&L is the freight carrier we use at work. They are pretty good, you won't have any complaints as long as the guy you're buying the motor from packages it well enough.

Do they typically deliver to the door step in the area? Or do they deliver to the terminal in Baltimore. my zip is 20904 if that helps, thanks everyone.

I shipped a motor to NC. It was scheduled to arrive at the buyer's home; however, he got really giddy, and couldn't wait the extra day. So, he drove to the terminal and picked it up.
