I ended up not needing shipment...I told my parent's I was gonna ship my kayak from their house in Indiana to my home in North Carolina and they told me they were planning on surprising me with a visit before I deploy (I'm active duty army, 82d ABN). JDEMPERE was definitely a catch though, she was pleasant to work with and no doubt it would have went great. In the future if I use this service again, I will definitely seek her services.
