I do *not* want to know how much this cost to ship:

http://www.sunhelp.org/e3k/arrival/
170 lb (shipping weight) E3K.  In a box, on a pallet skid.
2-day FedEx, from NJ to TX.

However, big companies get a huge discount w/major shippers.  At
$WORK, we get about a 45% discount on FedEx and UPS, from their
posted prices/normal rates.  I suspect AnySystem does enough FedEx
business that they get a good discount.
