I had it shipped. It would have been nice to pick up but no time. Make sure you call around to trucking companies for pricing. You will find the big companies are priced sky high. If your not to impatient find a trucking broker who can pick it up when he has a partially empty truck. It will probably cost you less than 1/2. You will also have to hire a broker to clear your purchase at the border. Whoever you hire to ship it will probably have a suggestion for you.
