I discovered a great service for shipping at:

www.uship.com

It runs a little like eBay. You post what you want shipped, and vendors submit competitive bids. Like eBay, you can read other's experience as they rate the shipper's performance.

I had a '47 Clipper hood that needed to be picked up from rural PA (From Pittsburg, go 45 miles into nowhere) to Dallas.

I got a quote from UPS to box and ship as long as the owner took it 15 miles to the nearest office. Cost was $658. For a $50 hood!

That's when I found U-Ship. I had several offers around $200. I accepted one for $175. The shipper picked it up at the rural address and took to to my house. He was going through the area, so I basically paid for his gas money home.

U-Ship takes anything from pets to cars.

I hope this helps.
