Customs Shipping help Ridgecrest CA to Compton CA

I have a '53 Buick grill mustache that I need shipped from Ridgecrest CA 93555 to my international shippers at Compton CA 90220. I've been quoted $241 by the vendor. This seems excessive?
After any suggestions / help for more affordable shipping.

 

Depends-- what is it and how big

 

seems a little pricey to go 3-4 hrs south of you but that's shipping nowadays.
is it worth a daytrip for u to drive to LA and drop it off. if u have a commuter car your looking at 100-150,in gas and 8hrs of time.
I've notice shipping large items has become insanely expensive to ship.

You can ship it on Greyhound bus...call their package express dept
or just plain old UPS..

 

try So Cal Delivery in Santa Fe Springs. I have used him a couple of times and find him very good. Google them for contact info.

 

He is in new zealand, I dont think it would be cost effective...Lol

 

I would use Fastenal, Trick is you would need to have someone pick it up at there store

 

I shipped a '53 Buick grill within California - just took it to local retail Postal Box Rental/Photocopying/Mailing store. They did the boxing up (well protected) and shipped via Fed-Ex.

 

I have shipped banger short blocks back and forth from San Mateo to Santa Fe Springs and the price was $100 each way. Door to door. I know it's So Cal Delivery, but i also know he goes north to Napa and east to Phoenix.

 

Ridgecrest is a small ass town in the midle of the desert and Compton is outside of LA. Its a pretty decent haul on a crappy highway. 170 miles one way. Unless you can get the seller to crate it and send it UPS or FEDEX freight you may have to pay the $. I think there are a couple of HAMBers in Ridgecrest......
