Try "Busfreigher.com", they rent space from GreyHound and will be the cheapest by far. They do have a 100 lb limit per box.

Fastenal requires anything/everything to be crated and they were almost double the cost of busfreighter.com. I shipped 4 wheels through busfreighter.com and it was ~$104, Fastenal was $200. Actual mileage may vary...

I used the GreyHound PackageExpress service to ship a Mustang fender once. It was super cheap and did not get damaged. And Ex door is pretty big, but I'm sure if you package it well it will work.

I have used hotshot's on Craigslist before and it's usually pretty damn cheap, especially for items that'll still fit in their bed by the hitch (if it's stood up). Most all of the quality people are insured and licensed as well.

Been busy the passed few days, just wanted to thank my fellow FTE members for your help. Anyway, I’ve been unable to contact the seller in Texas. I suspect that I will also be in need an underwater recovery team.

Whereabouts in Texas? If it's around Houston if you sort out shipping and such I can see about getting it dropped off.
