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.

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

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

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?).
