Local pick up in or near Muncie, IN is free. Shipping by UPS Ground, the most economical way. Shipping cost is based on the weight and size, so can be high on some large items. I try to keep the shipping cost as low as possible for you. Will be wrapped in thick cardboard for shipping. Please allow up to 2 business days for special packing of this item. I combine shipping when possible to save you money. If you pay excess shipping, I will refund the overpayment. If you want to have another shipper pick this up, that is fine as long as you pay in advance. I will hold the item for 60 days. I can also deliver it to some mid-west areas for a reasonable fee. Please check with me prior to purchase if interested. Thanks!
