There are a lot of frieght companies out there. See if you can get in good with a company that freights a lot, use their discount.

i had to ship a car hood to michigan through freight

i priced around and R and L carriers was the cheapest

they also were very timely and the quote i got ended up being more than it actually cost to ship it

www.uship.com is VERY good. A lot of brokers and independents bid on your shipment.

I have always used greyhound package express for cheap parts shipping.

I just sent two classic recaros from vabeach to Sheboygan, WI for 90$ total insured. Each seat was approx 50lbs.
