Just a quick word of advice. Weigh it with a certified scale and get a print out at at least weight it somehow and take a time stamped digital pic.

A couple years ago shipping a rearend Yellow Freigh via freighquote.com I had a situtation I was backcharged $160.00

A week after the part was shipped the 160.00 charge came up on my card so I contacted freightquote. They said I had listed the freight as 225 but they wieghed it at 360. This ended up two months worth of fighting, getting a letter from Moser stating how much the rear weighed, and even had the buyer weight it on the bathroom scale without the crate he had already tossed. It came down to hire a lawer or eat it since I had no proof of the weight before shipped. They might have got the 160.00 but I assure you I have cost freightquote much more than that from my business and others freinds business lost.
