transport needed: West Virginia to Chicago

Post by gunnarthefeisty »

I have an Re-57 that measures 46x26x18". Currently it's near Charlottesville WV and I'd like to have it up to Chicago IL for the June APS phonograph show.
Thanks!

The show has been cancelled for 2021!
It was announced a couple weeks ago, but maybe not here on the forum. Sorry you missed it.

The cancellation of this year's Midwest Music EXPO was announced here about 3 weeks ago, but folks can always check on the status of APS shows here:

The odds of finding someone here on that route are remote. Your best bet would be to go to www.uship.com and request a quote. I use them frequently for inbound shipments. Don’t just look for the cheapest price; the reliability and ratings of each carrier are equally important. I found a carrier a few months ago that has now hauled for me six times, with astounding results.

I'll have to try that I guess. Their estimates looked pretty pricey but I guess I have no other choice.

old thread, but if anyone's coming up from the south to the north, I could still use this.

doesn't have to be chicago- if you're coming from Virginia to the Midwest, I'd travel a bit to pick this up.
