Looking for someone to drive 2 servers for me from Lombard to Chicago
I'm looking for someone to pick up 2 servers from this address:
Continuum Datacenter, 835 OAK CREEK DR LOMBARD, IL 60148-6426
and drop them at this address:
Dupont Fabros Datacenter, 220 Busse Road, Elk Grove Village, IL 60007
It's a 18 mile drive.
The servers unfortunately don't have packaging, that's why I can't ship them today.
They are both 2U in size and around 60-70lbs
I really want to do this today but tomorrow also works.

Can't you send them $50 to have some tier 1 tech from either dc drive it over
so uhm, what's in for the dude that sends it?
beer or a night of your butt
They are not up to it.
Money
I'm willing to do it today if the job can be done after 3:30pm CDT
Of course there is always the risk that someone could take your $10k worth servers and disappear
Don't the shipping companies (UPS / FedEX) offer to package the servers with their own packaging and then deliver them to the other DC?
You should rethink this through. I'd hate to see your next post be. "Guy ran off with my hardware!!!" You should think about getting it packaged up and sent through proper channels. Not asking some random joe smho on an e-board.
With Chicago being a popular business hub there's plenty of courier services that can complete this:

http://www.arrowmessenger.com/

http://www.bestmessenger.com/chicago-courier-services/
http://www.northwestpackage.com/
http://www.wcground.com/Chicago/
http://www.quickdelivery.com/
http://www.fourstarcourier.com/
All of these offer same-day service, and many of them offered 2-hour service.
And then you'll avoid the conundrum of dealing with a public relations nightmare for making a poor business decision and having your servers shystered by someone lacking scruples.
You saved my day @Damian
@wintereise can do this for you for free.
