WE originally were looking at shipping but this guy really has alot of sentiment in this house. He said he couldn't ship it wondering if it would make it here in one piece. So we decided to rent cargo vans from Enterprise and meet halfway. I was kinda shocked but this would not fit in my SUV. He had said he even had a friend that had a Hummer and they couldn't get in ther either. The cargo vans were great....plenty of room! Once all was said and done other than the driving time we paid the same as to ship.
