One time we had to deliver 5 giant custom ultra bright digital signage enclosures (those news stands in times square) to NYC on Monday to avoid paying a large late fee Claus in our contract. We were done with the big boxes, but not the $20k custom monitors I designed. So we hired a "hot shot" semi truck to pick up the big enclosures on Thursday in order to get them to NYC by Friday. We then air freight-ed the monitors the next day to get them there in time, buying us about 12 hours to finish the displays, for $20k in air freight.
