sivad98 Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Any ideas as to how to ship a quilting system? I'm looking at the Liberty but she isn't sure how she would ship the 12 foot table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 You or she will need to contact a shipping company. The head can go UPS but not the rails and table. Check to see if splitting up the set will be more expensive to ship than sending it all together. Go online for shipping/transport companies and research cost, insurance, and reputation. They're shipped all the time so it's just a matter of choosing a company. Usually the rails and legs can ship unwrapped but the table needs some protection. Maybe have her call APQS for some advice. She'll need to ready it for shipment herself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witha'K'quilting Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 I believe the rails and rollers can be shipped fedex freight. The table could be disassembled into rails, rollers, legs, cross members and lexan top sections. Or, get the table dimensions and weight, and get a quote with it assembled. We have large equipment delivered via fedex freight often...and they are fairly reasonable considering the size/weight, especially considering I am rural.

jimerickson Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Go to the web site UShip. Independent shippers will bid on your cargo. Lots of options regarding the service you can get. I had mine shipped from FL to TX two years ago. It cost me $550. A very nice experience. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Linda S Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 APQS shipped my whole system to me back in 2004. It cost me $500 and it came by ABS Freight (I'm pretty sure). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jclark Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 I just shipped a ten foot table via FedEx Freight a few weeks ago. My husband constructed wooden crates for both the end pieces and the rails. Cost was $467.00. We called FedEx, got a quote and quote number then delivered the crates to the FedEx Freight location. They will also pick up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustSewSimple Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Mine was shipped to me FedEx Ground and cost around $600. That was more than a year ago. It was easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
