Yeah, still under $3k from Asia to US West Coast according to freightos.com. Source: over 1 year ago

Btw if you're interested in this stuff check out freightos.com - I thought it was a cool idea (and apparently fairly novel in that industry). It's like a travel booking website but for freight. It can be fun to play around with the settings and see how much it would cost to ship stuff all over.

I used https://goshare.co/ , which is sort of like Uber for delivery. It connects you to a guy with a truck. We both put the treadmill in the truck back, then he drove to my place. Cost for delivery was 43 minutes * $0.99/min = $42.57 . The used Nordictrack 1750 treadmill cost $200 (retails near $2000 new). I've run thousands of miles on the treadmill since then, some with intense HIIT -- no issues. Source: about 1 year ago

There's this Uber-esque thing for furniture called GoShare I found. Anyone have experience with it? My estimate was $84, which is better. Source: over 1 year ago

I can get stake trucks, vans and other kinds for $19.95/day all day long. And, there's apps like goshare.co for that stuff, too. Source: over 2 years ago
