Shipping a 12ft. long retractable awning down to TV from Philly area? Any ideas?
 

Ciao, all! Am looking to get a 12ft. long retractable awning down to TV from Philly area. All the conventional shipping methods are too expensive to make this feasible. Any other ideas?? Someone moving down and already has a truck ordered we can rent space on? Someone driving down to visit and can bring it for us? Maybe a snowbird returning in a vehicle large (long) enough to accomodate this?? We couldn't fit it in our car on our last visit, our back seat doesn't collapse. Help...looking for ideas!

Check with Greyhound. I ship a lot of car parts using them. Have shipped car hoods. Prices are very reasonable.

make sure your awning will be allowed at TV...?

ahhhh...never thought of that! Thanks...I know people that have one, tho...hmmm

Beautiful!!! Will do! Thanks!

call the company that did the install they would have a box and sometimes will ship it for you..just a thought

Nah!! my sister bought it at...ready?...a Christmas shop in Philly area.For $200.!!! It's exactly what we wanted for the lanai, but any company we get out here wants $2500 or more..and that's not even electric open. Anyway, thought she could just ship it to us, but that's proving difficult. I might hafta rent her a van for a week, have her bring it down and get a visit out of it!!! :) Thanks for responding!!
