Fed Ex, Ups, Way To expensive. Need to ship a dash. Who else can I use???

I put this here cause there is really no other option on the tech board listing.

I sold the dash and door panels I had for sale on the forum. Shipping is over $100 on both. I know there has to be a company other than fed ex and ups. USPS says the item are to large and wont accept them..
I need options, Please help!!! thanks.

Use Fastenal or Ship By Bus. I have had great luck with bigger items being set through the website ship by bus. Just drop it off at your local greyhound bus station.

Fastenal is easy, but unless the item is fully crated they won't insure it

You might have to enquire with the store or the 3PL contact, I am not sure on your answer. I built a crate out of some 2x4's and some 1/4" plywood to ship to my friend in Iowa.
