I know I've been out of things for 7 years or so, but I just got a quote from Beltman of $925 to ship a single empty Williams cabinet from NH to San Diego.

Am I that behind the times? Is this where shipping is at these days?

I fell off my chair!
 
It was already expensive in late 2024. So I'm sure it's even worse now.

 
$700-800 has been the going rate for some time now. Usually $900+ is for two cabs.

Trying to ship an empty Williams cabinet cross country?? That must be a nice Williams cabinet! Which one? 😊
 
Could probably get it down to $600 or so with Uship but yeah shipping has just gotten more expensive. Price per cab does go down the more you send though, so always buy as many cabs as you can, lol.
 
Yep, Beltmann/STI has steadily been creeping up, especially if either the pickup or delivery is "out of the way". Plus you're shipping from one corner of the country to another. If this is just going to be a resto and you want to roll the dice, check out Freight Pros/Nolan for LTL.
 
I'd recommend Fastenal, but, they don't ship from coast to coast. You can get cabs shipped for like $250 last time I did it a few months ago.
 
Grif finds complete Dragon's Lairs and Reactors sitting next to a dumpster and homeless tent. I can't weep for his current cab debacle 🤣
Stop giving away my sources :D

Well it is a bit of a special situation, I'm being given this for free by the owner and I already have most of what I need to bring it back to almost 100% original.
