My Witco bar & stools were brought over from New York by Vintage Transport, and was blanket-wrapped, instead of being crated. The delivery time quoted was 4 weeks (although it was a time when the East Coast was hit by major snow), and even when there was a delay, they still delivered in just over 2 weeks time. They even had someone hit their huge truck (not their fault, but did damage their headlights by a wrong way driver and delayed their travel time by 2 days), and they even called me to inform me of their delay. They had great customer service and would use them again if needed.

When they delivered, they also carried in the Witco bar (which is not a light bar), and positioned it where I needed it. I was surprised since I was expecting the usual "curb-side" delivery, where most companies literally just drop your item at the curb and won't bring it inside the house.

Blanket-wrapping items is always less, of course, in comparison to being crated, but for the ultimate protection, crating would be the way to go.
