Advice on Shipping a Shortblock

I've had some not-so-local people interested in my shortblock I have for sale. Wondering if anyone has advice as to shipping this.

I've seen advice such as "use a freight service", "put it on a pallet", etc. But in the end I'm still lost. I don't know who a freight service is. I don't have a pallet so is this something that I can usually get at wherever this freight place is? How do you secure it to the pallet? I want to try and sell it, and there are non-local people interested but I'm just stuck on how to get it there. I don't have a pallet at home, I don't have any sort of strapping stuff to secure it, I really have no clue what to do here and looking for some advice, or some help, anything!!! Do you lust lay it on the oil pan on the pallet and the oil pan holds the weight of everything? Ha, I'm obviously a bit lost with this, so please HALP!

Let me know if anyone can help.
