I recently sold a subframe that had to be delivered to the buyer, because most refused to pay shipping costs. The Rotisserie (Weight was 460lbs) that I sold was picked up by the buyer, but people were shocked at the costs for me to ship these items.
As for the wiring and accessories, then I would suggest getting a harness from Speartech or Ironworks. Ironworks is nice because of the canon plugs. Every engine that I replaced, I tend to buy new accessories.

Ahh, but you're not taking into consideration the discounts companies get when they do large volumes with shippers. I can ship a 500lb pallet across country for less than $200. Now whether the company chooses to pass those savings along on to you is another matter...
