Can anyone help with low-cost board shipping. Amtrak discontinued shipping totally and Greyhound refuses to ship boards as they don’t fit in the cargo area.
FedEx, UPS and truck carriers are $350 plus. Thanks. |

You can try shipping it via airlines freight. You have to drop it off at your airport and the customer has to pick it up at their airport. I recently had a quote of $150 from west coast to mid-west. _________________ Kansas City |

Thanks for air-shipping tip. I used to ship United Cargo before but they discontinued (Covid?). I’ll try other airlines. |

Covid changed everything. Delta only ships if you have Commercial Shipping Account with IRS tax ID etc, etc |

I have not tried, but I think I could find a business with a commercial shipping account which is willing (for a negotied fee) to allow a windsurfer the use of their shipping account. I live in a county which has an airport and a population of about 150,000-200,000. That might make personal relationships with customers both easier & more important to businesses. |
