You have to use the special shipping code # 85 where it asks for "class" on the Bill of Lading. It is less than half the normal rate! Normal Fed Ex Ground Freight quoted me $199 to ship a single pole from a Monument Colorado High School to a small town outside Moline Il. When I called again and talked to another person in shipping, she was able to ship the same pole for $70! Takes 4 days to get there..... hopefully it won't be run over by a fork lift at some point in transit. Anyways, thought you might want to know about this shipping possibility. Thanks for the help.
