Can anyone find me a good shipping company?

My mom's friend wants to find a shipping company that is willing to ship 300+ pound by boat.

He is in the U.S currently right so I was wondering if there is a cheap company available that is up to his offer. The reason why he wants it ship by a boat or something is because it is waaay cheaper than by shipping on an airplane.

It would help if you told us where the object is and where you are trying to ship it to.

Hes trying to ship from the U.S to China.

I don't get what you mean by where the object is.

It will likely cost more to ship from certain areas than others...

Let me guess, is he shipping another condom factory?

If that 300 pound thing is sitting in a warehouse in Idaho it will cost more than if you can bring it yourself to where they accept the cargo to be loaded onto a boat. It could affect your choice of company because I would bet some will arrange the whole shipping including ground transport while others will only ship dock to dock, leaving you to figure out the ground transport.

I shipped a 700lb crate by railroad a few years ago. It was surprisingly cheap. I have no idea how to find a shipping company though. I just happened to know some people who shipped by rail a lot.

Sounds like the sender is trying to ship a high-technology item illegally but cheaply back to the motherland (is that what Chinese call China?).
