How big is it, 3 tons or 3 hundred pounds, can somebody skid take it to fastenal and pick it up on the other end? if so fastenal is good, that is if they are taking 3rd party again after this virus stuff.
also companies like ubid if you can drop off and pickup and sometimes they will pick up and deliver if they have a liftgate, all cost $$$$$$$

If not there are companies like citizenshipper, who will come to your door and drop it off where ever.

Fastenal is not currently accepting 3rd party shipments. If you can put the winch in a crate and the crated winch is 150 lbs (or less) try FedEx Ground. I just had a transfercase shipped from California to Texas

Seth, did they pick the t case up and drop it off or did you have to go to the terminal to get it. Their website gives contradicting info.

Fed ex freight will also come up on U ship. you need to drop it off and pick it up though. Most fed ex freight terminals do not have street level unloading.
