Check to see if any major truck shows are coming up in your area where one of the vendors might be setting up a booth. Most times they will deliver the item to the show for you to pick up for free. You might also check into shipping via Greyhound bus but the vendor might not be close to a bus station. Greyhound is usually a cheaper way for large bulky items. Just some thoughts.

Shipping is always a killer. I have seen many good deals on eBay sell cheap because the sell is in the middle of Idaho, 200 miles from the closest big town. Did you try Chucks Trucks, http://chuckstrucksllc.com , in Hamden, CT? He sells Northern Classic boxes maybe he gets a deals on shipping and could give you a break. It's worth a try. He's probably 2-3 hours from you.
