One thing I would consider if I had to ship such items is the Greyhound bus
company. Apparently their prices are very reasonable - no experience myself
thou, just what I heard.
I've shipped lots of stuff using Greyhound. Very reasonable, but you need
to be near a bus station. Typically its about $60 for shipping and I've never
had a problem. Shipped hard tops, fenders, seats, etc. There are a few
limitations. 100 lbs is the maximum, but I have cheated and shipped things a
few
pounds over. I got away with 120 one time. They have maximum box
dimensions, but the guys at the bus station have always been willing to work
with me
and explain that as long as they can fit it under the bus it goes. (for
example, you can ship a hood wrapped in bubble wrap which exceeds max length)
They
do not ship outside the US.
Check their web site for price and restrictions. www.shipgreyhound.com
