Find some random receiver in Montana which would require going out of my way a minimum of an hour, load up a bunch of stuff in my truck, strap it down, tarp it, deal with a bunch of border crap regarding a pick up truck full of stuff for a guy I don't know, drive it back to Calgary, find your house, help you unload it and presumably carry it in as it would be pretty weird to just drop it on your driveway. For $75 in gas. That's the worst deal I've ever heard of.
I mean, that's a bad deal if I was picking up a couch for you at Leon's 10 minutes from my house, but you're casually asking strangers to pick up a bunch of heavy large crap in another country. WTF.
I'd say $500 would be the minimum offer on a job like that. Maybe I'm wrong.
