I thinking about sending my 20B out to be rebuilt vs. doing it myself.

Any suggestions as to what carrier I should use?

I found that asking the shipper for suggestions as to how to lower the cost to be beneficial.  I was shipping a Lyc IO-360 from CA to PA.  The original quote was around ~$500.  After asking for alternatives the shipper asked if I would accept "Ship when space available".  The new quote was $185 and the engine made it to the buyer in four days. I did deliver the engine/crate to the shippers dock and there was no guarantee on delivery date.
