Most of the heavy freight I've shipped my customer picked it up at the depot on the receiving end, I've never used tail gate service. All my stuff ships LTL, if your exporting you'll need a broker and an export / import license which in Canada is free. I use a broker from Winnipeg, she sends all the required documents as PDF files with helpful information on filling them out as the language used on those forms is enough to confuse a person not familiar with the legalese.

The biggest hurdle I had was finding a customs classification for milled cat comb, but was fortunate that someone had already applied for a customs classification with one being granted. If your shipping a commodity that does not have a classification you'll have to apply to customs to assign one.

It was a learning experience for me, but all said and done not at all difficult to do.

I suspect your shipping within the continental USA and her possessions, which is a snap not having to bother with all that paper work.
