'trying to help a customer deliver three boxes tonight. They are in Dallas and need to be in Houston.

Anybody interested in driving or has any ideas on how to get them there?

I have quotes from courier services for around $500 so was hoping somebody in Dallas area might know somebody who would do it for less.

2 boxes, 35 lbs each, will fit in a car.

Yes, we've won our share of awards, and yes, I've tested stuff and read the scientific papers, but ultimately take everything I say with more than just a grain of salt! So if you are looking for trouble, just do as I say or even better, do something I said years ago!

if you need any help in Houston, shoot me an email. Our house/shop is really close to a UPS hub

If I had known about it this morning I could have, but I think it's going to be too late for me to get to Dallas, load up my stuff, get this stuff,  and get to Houston early enough to grab what I need there as well...

why don't you try calling Lonestar overnight (a courier service) or have UPS ship it to me ground?

I don't understand why UPS isn't helping. We should have just had it shipped to me. Is it possible a courier to pick up the boxes? i think that would be the best option.

boxes HAVE to be in Dallas today or I am out $5K. I don't have the option to ship them somewhere else first.

Try calling river oaks courier or lone star overnight. I'll see if anyone I know wants to drive to Dallas today

UPS Custom Critical should be picking up the boxes and taking them to Dallas as of right now. Been on the phone with them for an hour trying to make it happen.

Hopefully they can. . .
