Excellent post rmkrum.
Hard to imagine this "save money" approach actually saving money IMO!
Find an accepted way to buy the flooring locally, and ship it yourself, perhaps in a U-pack container etc..
For starters, how are you going to load long lengths of flooring into the trailer? A couple of interior dings from the sharp corners of the flooring pieces, loaded by amateurs, and you will have destroyed any savings before you even get the AS fully packed!
Not to mention the damage during a storm at sea.
A false economy IMO.
Good luck!
