What is the best way to ship a herzog cabinet?

Thanks

I checked your profile and have no idea where you'd like the cabinet shipped to or from.

I just want to know who some good shippers are. I think the standard ones might not be good for a herzog.

Send the to and from locations, so that we can help you sync with the established hobby pathways if they might apply,

Kris,

As you know, I’ve shipped you stuff via R&L Carriers. They are my domestic “heavyweight” shipper of choice. But you still need to do a nice packing job and secure the carton to a shipping pallet. R&L is very cost-effective, courteous and cooperative. In the past 15 years of using them, there was only one damage incident (documented here on the Forum).

R&L is making a delivery for me today in the state of Washington. They always call the recipient a day or two before delivery to arrange a time.

I did try using UPS and FedEx Ground for cabinets at one time, but the “oversize” charges and rough handling caused me to abandon that method.
