A family member is being gifted a pallet, or more, of large lead/acid 12V batteries.

Greyhound doesn't ship hazardous materials.
UPS, FedEx,... will ship for an arm and a leg.

All ideas are greatly appreciated. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Question:

Are the batteries new?

Are they name brand?

Instead of the actual batteries, could the gift're (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) give you the equal amount of cash for the batteries and your Maryland person could just purchase the batteries in Maryland?


Could you sell the batteries where your located and send your Maryland person the check to purchase batteries in Maryland?


Can we find another way to torment the Captn with incorrect english and or spelling ? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

Geez Rick, now you've got me thinking...
I know this guy won't sell the batteries for us. But to maybe strike a deal with a local Teener friend, in Maryland, to cash out the batteries and purchase them new in Cali. Might be a better way to go. Little cash made for the friend in Maryland and a little made here.
