Jim, when exactly is 2003 open fields?

Airborne Express is the cheapest rates I know of:
Airborne Express - Rate Comparison

Just enter your Indiana open fields origin zip of 46131 & our SF Bay south area destination zips of
Santa Cruz 95065, or Monterey 93940, or San Jose 95112 = $358.77/150 lbs.
Santa Cruz 95065, or Monterey 93940, or San Jose 95112 = $117.00/50 lbs.
For our usual 500 lbs, that works out to 3 x $358.77 + $117.00 = $1193.31,
or $2.39/lb.

We also need to figure in the additional cost of the shipping boxes. Any thoughts?
