Not sure if this is okay to post, mods can delete if it's not.

I need a large pallet to be received. 7 feet long and 3 feet high. It is a commercial ventilation hood for a food truck.

I live in Cody and the company wants to charge $1850 to ship to Cody because it's "out if the carriers shipping area" Shipping to Billings 2 hours away is only a few hundred dollars.

I can be there the same day it's delivered, possibly at the time of delivery.

It sounds like I can have it shipped to a trucking company but there are alot and reviews are very mixed.

Anyone know of any businesses or what kind of business will receive a large package like this in the billings area? I have no problem paying for the service just not clear on where to start.

Any guys out there in Billings have any ideas?

Bumping this back up as it turns out Fastenal cannot accommodate this type of request, it seems the folks I talked to drink don't understand what I was asking for. Even the trucking companies I've contacted will only receive if the product if it is shipped by their trucks.

I would call the sale barn. If you will be present they may let you do it there. Should be plenty of room.

I can help. Give me a call and I will set you up with my buddy that has a shop in Billings where you can have it delivered and meet them there to pick it up. They have a big skid steer to help load it if needed. 406-694-9508
