Can anyone give some advice on how to have woodworking machinery shipped from seller to buyer? I'm working on the planer/jointer combo deal and the seller has a loading dock and is willing to crate it. I need to get it to a residential garage but it'll probably be easiest to have it dropped off at my local freighter's warehouse and I'll pick it up from there with my trailer (I've done this many times before to avoid liftgate delivery issues).

I've already contacted my local freight company but I think they really only deal within Illinois and I need this thing brought over from NY. I suspect they might end up just hiring another company and charging me overhead.

Who would you contact to setup shipping for such an item and what kind of prices would you expect?

Thanks!
