One other option you may consider is Fastenal Freight, I had my engine and trans shipped from one member on here and my rear end shipped from Marketplace.
Basically Fastenal splits the country in half vertically, they won't ship cross country, but since you are in the middle, you might be able to ship either east or west.
They show a location in Moline Ill just south of you, there may be a location even closer.
So they way they work is, you put these parts together, either in a box on a pallet or strap them to the pallet, drop off at Fastenal, it sits until they have a shipment going to the Fastenal location closest to the end user, this is why the rates are cheaper, as long as you are willing to wait it out.
End user gets notified that the pallet has arrived, you go to the store, they load your pallet in the back of the truck or trailer....win win
I saved big money on both my purchases using Fastenal, all paperwork, tracking is provided, if the end user is on a popular route for deliveries, the wait time tell it ships out might not be that great.
Just might be an option for you to get these items to someone and not break the shipping cost bank. Good luck with everything, if you have any questions, shoot me a PM
