[BMWCSRegistry] Furniture moving (WOB )

[Bill Proud]

Have any of you'se weenies ever had a small qty of furniture moved within 
the US ?
We just bought a couple of fragile pieces at an auction near Columbus in 
Ohio and are appaled /astounded at the projected costs of shipping to middle 
Tennessee south of Nashville (Nose-singing capital of the World ) .It's 
estimated to cost almost more to ship than to buy !!
Yeh, we could take our truck/covered trailer and drive up and back (1,000 
miles ) but we're in midst of building my new shop plus converting a two-car 
garage to a dining room (my dark blue middle finger nail is current evidence 
of abuse typical of such projects ) so at the moment time does NOT permit ..
So ......any good recommendations for small-qty moving companies ? Big 
movers have a set minimum qty/weight , Freight companies want it only in 
padded crates ....We NEED a small qty interstate furniture mover .
Anyone driving south (I 65 ) with an empty covered trailer in next coupla 
weeks could use some gas-assist $$ for a short side-trip ? .We could meet up 
in Nashville /Louisville/Memphoids or Huntsville/Birmingham/Atlanta area to 
effect transfer with notice ..
Shipping via suborbital cruise missile has been ruled out due to inaccuracy 
of parachute landing, dont have convenient relatives headed this way , no 
Army National Guard buddies moving tanks this way . So we feel stymied !! 
The ONLY thing that's fixed these days is our retirement income and where we 
want this furniture delivered !
