Special Care Item Listing Information
  • 2000 pounds of petrified wood.
  • Description: I need to ship about 2,000 pounds (909 kilos) of "freight" from Houston to St. Louis within the next 2 weeks. It consists of several pieces of petrified wood from Indonesia, so "soft and safe" packing will be necessary. I estimate that it will take 2 pallets. The freight is currently in a friend's garage in Houston (they recently moved back from Indonesia and included my stuff in their shipping container). I live in a nearby suburb of St. Louis, Missouri. Can you help me?
