It's a ridiculous price for shipping

No the car thing doesn't work. The 3 piece TT and stand and the crates to ship them easily weigh 500 pounds. $2K is in line and we don't know the source country overseas. The TT is NOT in the USA

....as in on an ocean going ship. Appropriate for automobiles, maybe not so much for 2nd hand audio gear. Imagine a crew of uncouth sailors on the freighter with the big "Maersk" logo on its bow handling your crates filled with $90K of merchandise and they don't have a clue, or care, what it is.Try shipping a car via FedEx air.
On land shipping can mean hiring a trucking company to move your gear from one place to another. Depending on the size and weight of the gear it may be a better choice than going with FedEx or UPS. But which trucking company to trust!

Having "shipped" delicate equipment overseas I can tell you first hand that cargo is treated with far more care on the ships than they are on the airplanes. What you lose is time. no one handles cargo in a more Neanderthal way than the folks who work for the airlines. I have also sent large and delicate gear by plane over seas. The 2,000 dollars is ridiculous.
