I inserted that to see if you read the entire rebuttal.Good you read it.you choose to address only that part. In the old days we were able to slip the sky cap a $20 bill , all good to go. Wright brothers first flight was 1903, make her 117 YO at least.
Why would she have to fly ? The flight attendants nor pilots check baggage.
Smiley face , not considered.

For the Record, I contacted Pilot shipping twice and they never did get back to me, suggesting they weren't interested or ......they had packaging requirements that weren't met, like Yellow Freight that wanted the board packaged in a wood crate.

I was unable to find a reasonable shipping price to ship the 25 lb. packaged board from Savannah to Corpus Christi. For example FedEx Freight was $500. Southeastern Freight was $450. So, I abandoned the purchase of the board in Savannah, a Supergu 102, and have started searching the West Coast for a similar board. I'll wind up losing about $125 on the failed attempt to buy and ship the board.

Thom, need shipping from to zip codes, length width thickness, and weight.
1. Use the email form on Pilots home page.
2. I called the Denver office they can arrange it’s shipment through them,payment then required by CC.
Email Jess at
Den@ pilot delivers.com
Phone for Denver is 3033714334.
They said this can be done through them, to obtain the quote email them, best for quick response.

Does the seller go to OBX ? Or have a possible drop off there?

I called the Denver Pilot hub number given and they said they would not be able to help me, and I would need to process this thru the Atlanta hub and gave me the number (404) 363-6633 which is the same number I called a couple days back. I called it again and the person on the other end asked my name, then found an unprocessed rate quote with my name on it and said they would email a rate quote shortly. I will post more as soon as I know more.

UPDATE
I have contacted the Pilot hub in Atlanta and four times I filled out a rate request. They say they will email a rate quote shortly, but I have not heard back from them. The only reason I can think of for why they have not gotten back to me is perhaps the Corpus Christi area is not an area they serve. I'm out. Your mileage may vary!!

Thank you, ... I tried DHL and as soon I entered a destination inside the US boarder it kicked me off the rate form and stated NO DOMESTIC SERVICE or something to that effect.
