Default RV-7 finishing kit shipping cost?

Can I get an idea of what people are paying for shipping on their finishing kits and the freight company used?

Van's dimensions are 97x49x29 inches, 330 lbs.
What I am going to order will be a little smaller and lighter; omitting cowl, spinner, and engine mount, but the canopy will still not fit in my car.

Shipping would be to North California, and I'm trying to decide if it's worth it to borrow or steal a truck and go get it myself, about 1100 miles round trip.


Thanks,

Jeff, have you inquired with the folks at Vans???

Their shipping dept is pretty good with this kind of question.
