shipping New York to Texas

I know this is a stretch, but, I have purchased a complete air-conditioning system for a 61 olds 88. I am just asking if anyone one here will be traveling from the New York area to the Dallas Texas area in a truck, or van in the near future? This will be at least two large boxes 4' x 4' x 3' just a close guess. If so, and you would be interested in moving these parts, then please give me your price.
I do have this listed on U-ship, but so far the bids to ship are out of line.
Thank you.
also I am having one of the 88's that I bought shipped from Virginia Beach to Texas, so if anyone will be driving from New York to the Virginia Beach area before the 23rd let me know. It would work out great to just load all the parts in the car before it is transported.

My problem here is that the seller will not ship. The parts have to be picked up at his house.

Wallkill is 3 1/2 hours from me. If you can't find anyone else, and you can wait a while, I travel for work quite a bit. Unfortunately I was just down there two weeks ago so I may not be getting there any time soon.

Thank you Mike.
I have never heard about shipping thru Fasten all, how will they charge? If I wait for your availability, what will you charge? I fear that this will end up being to big of a hassle for you, because the seller will be" boxing ", but I don't know what that means to him.

It might have to be on a pallet if it's over 125 lbs or so but that's no big deal. Fastenal is very easy to deal with. You request a quote here:

I would ship from Geneva, NY. You would take care of all the shipping and I would just drop the box or pallet off there. I'm fairly sure you can pre-pay it.


The more difficult part is me getting there to pick it up. It's too bad you can't get the guy to drop it off at a Fastenal that's local to him.

I have asked for a quote to ship. Thank you so much for your help.
