Summers Here and LBC's are Everywhere, But They Need Parts to Fix

In an effort to keep their favorite cars on the road, five LBC owners
ordered parts to do some repairs. However, due to a large gust of wind,
the packing slips became jumbled up. Fortunately a shipping clerk, being
sharp as a tack, was able to quickly determine the owners full names
(one last name is Green), the particular part each one wanted, the
recipient's state, and the method of shipment each owner wanted to use.
Can you match wits with the postal clerk by using deduction from the
following clues?

 1. Ben Daniels did not order the SU rebuild kit .
 2.  Mike's package was going to Maine. 
 3. Walsh selected a Tonneau.
 4. UPS was used in the shipment going to Ohio.
 5. Herb ordered a Water  Pump. Another manager wanted a Clutch.
 6. The SU rebuild kit traveled to Iowa.
 7. Green asked to use Overnight Mail.
 8. Federal Express was used to send the Brake Shoes.
 9. Jones' wanted to send his package to Oregon.
10. Mae wanted to use Airborne and Herb asked to use the US Postal System.
11. Mary's package was not to be sent to Iowa.  

You may wish to use the following table to record the inferences you make.
