Dan:
Try calling a national airline at the nearest airport and asking about air
freight. I once had to have a 200 lb. saguaro cactus sent from Arizona to
Connecticut and US Air did it for about $75.
Worth a try.

Subject: Shipping Costs
Hi Listers,
These lists have always been helpful on everything else so I thought I would
ask about shipping costs. I am trying to find a reasonable way to ship a
roll
bar from El Paso, TX to the northeast. I've shipped packages in the past
this
size and weight and it wasn't as costly as what I am running into. The
package
is 36X30X30 and weighs less than 50lbs. Cost of part is only $200 but I'm
now
told the package is too large to ship by mail, UPS, etc. and Freight
companies
are quoting $170 to $300. Anyone have a reasonable suggestion on how I could
ship this part at a reasonable price.
Dan
