Dan,

You never should have bid on the weights if the ad said "no shipping," and had no intention of driving there to pick them up yourself. Do what it takes to back out of the sale and make things right with the seller.

The seller said "no shipping" for a reason: He was NOT willing to deal with shipping the items, period.

If he's a reasonable person, he may be willing to help you make arrangements, but believe me, the cost of shipping those weights will easily exceed what you paid for the weights in the first place. Unless they're something rare and special, it's not worth it.

FREIGHT is what all those 18-wheelers you see on the road are. "Shipping" is UPS, FedEx. "Freight" is a company like Roadway. There are hundreds of regional and national freight networks. With freight, you drop the pallet off at one depot, then pick it up at another depot. Door-to-door pickup and delivery costs extra, and generally is only worth the money if you have an entire semi-load of stuff to move.

If you really really want these weights, can't live without them, maybe you can work out a deal with the seller to hold them for you while you arrange shipment. On-demand freight is going to cost you money, but if you can find someone that just happens to be making a trip to within a couple hundred miles of you sometime this summer, you can get them hauled for a very reasonable price.

If you have to have them NOW, and you can convince the seller to wrap them separately in cardboard, you can send them by Greyhoud bus fairly reasonably. He will need to drop them off at the nearest bus station, and you will need to pick them up at your nearest bus station.
