We need approx. 10 medium boxes and one 300# Vespa to be moved out here. Any ideas on the most cost effective way to do so? Thanks!

I would check out uship.com. It is the ebay of shipping. Essentially anyone from truckers to people going cross county bid on your move...no matter how small. You can get good shippers and bad, but they are also rated so you can choose better ones. The first bids are always real high, and then you start working with them.

To get an idea of price, it cost me $330 door to door to ship one of my scooters from the midwest to SD. It was on an open trailer so it was less than a shipper that wanted it crated or on a palette. Truth be told I may not have wanted my Vespa traveling that way (although I saw a 300 on there and it seemed fine) .

if interested there are details of my experience, in the below thread where I respond to someone looking to ship a scooter which may have helpful info.
