Shipping odd/oversized items?

[Ms Grumpy]

We have shipped a lot of larger packages like speakers and audio equiptment. The suggestions listed above are great if it is something that you have access to. If not, it will depend on how fast you want to get it there. Since it is an oversized item both FedEx and UPS will hit you hard with cost. I would suggest using ground service, it may be slower but it is cheaper. Package the item yourself, many places charge way too much to box it for you. You can probably find a box at a bicycle shop that you could cut to fit. If you do use a shipping company, make sure that you insure it. It would probably be cheaper to ship via ground, may take a few days longer but would save some cash in the long run.
