What's shipping to the east coast? $1,000??? Or take a weeks holidays, fly there on a cheap flight, grab a u-haul truck and trailer and bring it back. Where there's a will, there's a way.
Put pencil to paper on that idea and you will see it is much more expensive to fly out, rent a u haul one way, (expensive), pay for fuel (very expensive) and take the time to drive out with some lodging and meals (more expensive) and you will see it is the most expensive alternative. Cheaper to pay a trucker to get the car and take a vacation for yourself, while he does the driving. Figure it out yourself and you will see I am right.
