Shipping Mooses......or is it Meeses?
I had the entire kit shipped to me. It came in a crate that was 4 X 4 X 12
feet long and weighed 1400 pounds. You need a way to get the crate off the
truck. Luckily, I had a friend with a forklift near my work. I had some
space at work to put the crate. I inventoried at work then slowly moved
everything a little bit at a time to my house.

Shipping Mooses......or is it Meeses?
Fred,
I'm in New Jersey and I got a Rebel last summer and had MAM ship it to me.
They charged $500 to crate it and the freight was $1000. My crate was about
the same size but only 1000 pounds. The trick is to get it off the semi and
into your work space. The freight company typically needs a loading dock and
fork lift to get it off the truck.
I made arrangements with my local lumber yard to have them get it off the
semi (the freight company went to the lumber yard, not my place). Then I
hired a guy with one of those flatbed trucks with the forklift hanging off
the back to get it from the lumber yard to my place. The trucks are most
commonly found at roofing material suppliers or companies that deliver sod.
Another possibility is a boom truck from a drywall supplier but they won't
be able to get into a building like the fork lift.
Hope that helps,
Allen Poulsen

Shipping Mooses......or is it Meeses?
I had a Rebel shipped to a trucking terminal in a northern suburb of Cincinnati. When I went to the terminal they used a fork lift to load the box into the back of my pickup. I strapped the box down and drove it to the house. At the time I had full size PU with an 8 foot bed and the tailgate down (approx 10 ft.? total) The box extended about 3 feet beyond the end of the tailgate. A bit of a challenge in traffic for someone not used to driving with that length vehicle.
The house has a walk out basement so I backed onto the patio and up to the basement door. I had borrowed a portable engine lift so I sat the lift on the patio, extended the boom over the side of the truck bed, put chains around the box and lifted it slightly off the bed. I drove the truck away from the box and then lowered the box onto the patio sitting it on car rollers that I borrowed. I talked a co-worker into going with me in case I needed extra muscle so he and I rolled the box into the basement.
To me, it was worth the money to pick the shipment up locally. The kit was insured while in transport, customs were taken care of, and I didn't have to take the drive time off work.
With today's gas prices it will probably cost a bundle to drive from Boston to pick it up. And, I would recommend you transport in or on a trailer instead of a pick up truck bed so if you don't own a trailer that is an additional expense to consider.
At the time I made my purchase Murphy had preferred drop points \ truck terminals in Canada that were cheaper than having it shipped to Cincinnati. When I considered time and distance to my closest offering I chose to pay the extra to pick it up in Cincinnati. You live closer to the border than me so that may be an option to explore.
Suggestions: If you don't have lifting and moving equipment, start asking your friends.

Shipping Mooses......or is it Meeses?
Fred-
I have purchased an Elite in three kits. In fact, my fuselage should ship any
day now!
The crate size is similar as is the weight. What I found easiest was to have
the crate shipped to a local truck terminal. I picked it up there using a
medium duty utility trailer. The trucking company was great about putting the
crate on my trailer with their forklift.
Once I got the trailer home it was easy to prop the back end of the crate on
some blocks, and slowly pull the trailer out from under the crate so I could
open and inventory the crate in my garage.
As for muscle, it was just my son and me, but a few extra friends would be
handy if you're not used to moving large crates.
Good luck!

Shipping Mooses......or is it Meeses?
I had mine shipped in the 3 sub-kits. Picked up the first one (tail kit) at
the trucking freight dock and brought it home in the bed of my truck (hung
out quite a long way). For the next two kits I recruited 12 of my "best
friends" from work and we performed the human forklift trick in front of my
house--with the fuselage kit the truck driver was not convinced it could be
done (he called his boss who told him that he was NOT to return to the dock
with the crate, so we managed). Off the truck, on to two piano dollies, and
into the side yard--no problem.
Remembre, forklifts are expensive, beer is cheap.
Good luck.

Shipping Mooses......or is it Meeses?
Oops. I made a mistake. My crate was actually 16 feet long. Also, I used
the base of the crate to build a table similar to the one the plans call
for. I actually had two tables because I also built one per the plans.
Having two tables was often very handy. The first three years of building
was in a two car garage with one table on each side of the garage.

Subject: Shipping Mooses......or is it Meeses?
Well, My "just lurking" days will soon be over. Not soon enough, just
a lot sooner than before.
I'm signed and paid up to be SR295. Yee-ha! My question is this,
though....
Since I live near Boston and would rather not take the time to drive
across the US twice to git it home, I'm thinking of having MAM pack and
ship it. Has any one else done this? Suggestions? Pointers?
Opinions?
Thanks in advance,
Fred
