So I just bought a small diesel marine engine for my boat. It's being shipped from Bayfield, WI. I'm looking for a commercial loading dock to receive it. Does anyone know of one in the Hampton Roads area? The closer to Yorktown, the better. Thanks.

Aren't you supposed to sort this out BEFORE you buy it?

Yeah. I would have, but I had no idea. Seller quoted $164 shipped to Yorktown, VA; neglected to mention it had to go to commercial loading dock. Apparently it's a lot more expensive to deliver residential.

Blasko, did you work for advance? or just work out a deal with them? That might be my best bet, but I don't know anyone up there.

Lowes and Home depot will usually let you use their docks do it if you ask.
