Need some feedback about shipping a toolbox
I am relocating from Miami to NY for a year or so and I have a Snap-On Classic 78 Tool box that I need to take with me. I am contemplating on renting a U-Haul and driving up or finding a shipper for my tool box. I have found it quite difficult to find a shipper for my tool box. Any forum members with any feedback on my situation will be greatly appreciated.

How do you plan on moving the vehicles and your other items? A Uhaul sounds like a good idea.

get it up off the wheels transporting them like that is hell on the box. I would go the uhaul route. build a frame to set in on.

for short distances it would be ok. i used to work in the field on the side. when i had my brand new husky tool box i noticed after about a month that it was showing wear. (around 200 miles) now that i have the big matco box i wont even think about transporting it unless i have to.
think about the forces put on four little areas measuring 4x2 or somthing close to that size.

Probably won't hurt a Matco either. Maybe airbags?

Check with a commercial line such as Yellow. Also, check what the USPS will charge...

I think jplinville has the answer. If it was boxed with wooden framing and sent on a better quality Common Carrier with insurance for the box and contents, it would arrive at the terminal with less expense then renting vehicles. You would not have to worry about theft and trouble on the trip. Good luck
