How can I set up my own shipping to pick up a package and deliver it to me?

Question

I found a great deal, but in order to get the item I must set up my own shipping. So, they have to pick it up from the company of interest, and then ship it to me. The package will have to cross the country as well.

Does anyone know if any of the major carriers could do this?

Answer 1

Yes if it is 100 lbs or more, then I have had great success with Alliance Air Freight & Logistics (www.shipalliance.com) 800.684.6359. They do ground shipping accross the country & air freight too.

Answer 2

It's EASY!  Just set-up a small business account with UPS.  You can track inbound, outbound, print labels, etc.  You'll need to have online service and a UPS approved shipping scale.
