PO3 Pat Hagan 4082410 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I&#39;m asking on behalf of a family member currently serving for advice or recommendations on the best way to have some large, heavy personal items shipped from home state to current duty station. This would be a non PCS move so my family member would be bearing the total cost. It is not an entire household, just an automobile engine, miscellaneous auto parts and a motorcycle. I suggested he check with family services on his base but I&#39;m not sure how helpful they&#39;d be since it&#39;s not a PCS issue. I&#39;m mainly looking for recommendations on reputable shipping companies that work well with military members and an idea of costs if possible. Thanks in advance for any helpful input. 2018-10-28T22:11:05-04:00 PO3 Pat Hagan 4082410

You give the particulars like what, where to where, weight, and cube, and they give bids in transport. I would compare that against long term storage costs; the constructive cost of flying back and driving it out in a rental van; and the actual cost of what he is moving. <a target="_blank" href="https://comfreight.com">https://comfreight.com</a><br /><br />If it were just the bike, you could probably get a vehicle transport company to haul it for a few hundred bucks. Is the engine and auto&#39;parts really something he needs moved? May take some doing but you could either sell it on eBay/ Craig&#39;s list or sell it for scrap. <div class="pta-link-card answers-template-image type-default"> <div class="pta-link-card-picture"> <img src="https://d26horl2n8pviu.cloudfront.net/link_data_pictures/images/000/337/655/qrc/tr?1540780605"> </div> <div class="pta-link-card-content"> <p class="pta-link-card-title"> <a target="blank" href="https://comfreight.com">Load Boards | Freight Marketplace | Bid On Loads | Factoring</a> </p> <p class="pta-link-card-description">Load board, freight matching, and bidding marketplace.
