You can try Fastenal, they ship using their own trucks.

There's an online shipping company headquarted in the Midwest that ships more reasonable. Can't remember the name but I've used them a few times.

California has a surcharge over and beyond normal shipping rates.
It is to help us pay for all those new trucks we were forced to buy.

You already got a good quote shipping from one terrible place no one wants to drive to another one.

I think that sounds about right, would think it is in the buck and a half to two range.

Fiat cnh charges me 30$ to ship a plow share from Portland to Pocatello Idaho and it takes 4 days . I think you got a cheap price better hurry and lock it in before they realize they screwed up

That actually sounds pretty reasonable.
Try Greyhound.
Last year Fastenal told me they wouldn't ship to CA.

I shipped a pedal tractor to the San Francisco area last spring from Illinois using Fastenal. I use Fastenal frequently when I have larger
things to ship.

That sounds like a lot less than I'd of thought going clear across the country.

Sounds pretty good to me for a cross country trek. Are you having it shipped to a terminal whereby you go and pick it up?

as others have said.
that's not unreasonable. figure it will probably be a skid shippment and at 90lbs too heavy to go otherwise. are you shipping it to your house? do you have a loading dock/fork lift? if to residential it will cost more $$ if tailgate shippment it will cost more $$ too.

have you tried XPO? not sure if they are in CA or not. Got one thing from them and picked up at their depot and saved the residential fee. they were very good to work with .. at least our local depot is.

I have used Fastenal a couple of times.
First time was very reasonable second time not so much.
One thing to consider is that your shipment with Fastenal is at their leisure.
Your stuff goes if there is room in the truck after their stuff.
So it might sit in a depot or three for a while before it gets to your local store.
I am lucky in that our local store is kinda not busy at times. The guys there will help with getting stuff crated/palletized if you slip them a few bucks or bring them pizza for lunch, etc.
