Default plane needs a ride

I almost got a plane sold to a guy in Georgia, and I live in NY. The plane is assembled and takes up a lot of room.
I can't seem to find anyone reasonable to ship it. Any suggestions?
Anyone going from NY to Georgia anytime soon?

Need more info. Make and model of plane? wing span? one piece or two? Tried Greyhound? You may have to improvise a box. Lots of cardboard and strong packing tape. Check your local furniture store for boxes.

Try Foward Air, they ship from airport to airport. I had a large jet shipped to me from New Jersey to Seattle and it was only about $150. It was in a box 8 feet long by 2 feet square or so. They are about the cheapest method I've seen.

it's going to be expensive no matter what method you use since the wing is not removable. I would suggest forward air, but you'll need to build a strong crate. I'm sure that any other carrier will require you to ship freight which is ridiculously expensive. I believe forward air's site is just simply www.forwardair.com I know many people that have used them without issue, myself included.
