Eagle USA is a shipping company that ships heavy or overly bulky items. We
have large printers sent from Dell and HP and we have never had a problem
with them.

They are mostly used for boxes that UPS and FedEx will not (refuse) to
deliver.

The reason for the long shipping time is because Eagle makes multiple stops
to pick up other bulky items from other buisnesses. Helps them keep costs
down while providing delievery services for bulk items (normally over
100lbs).

I believe, if you have a shipping number and can get a hold of Eagle, they
will
call you when they are within 2 hours of delivery. I used them to ship a
motorcycle from TX to OH.
