I mainly ship stuff directly to the refinery, but protip: if you have access to a loading dock and have the ability to fill a gaylord with nothing but one specific style of board (they only want sorted boards, so this would have to be the case) then freight would be about $100 bucks, plus or minus a few dollars, via LTL. You can realistically fit 500-700 pounds of boards into a gaylord. $2.75 for "high peripheral" x 600 pounds = $1,650 on $100 spent. Not a bad deal. Of course you will have to notify Chris and provide BOL and let him know it's one type of board. If you dont have a dock, and they have to use a liftgate at your house, you're looking like 300-400 bucks instead for the same pallet. If this isn't for you, I suggest higher value boards in the vein of what Marked was saying. Or, use UPS through pirateship and that will save you a ton. Chris also has a prepaid option, unless he discontinued that.
