no, they are not your only options. and I would caution against using
u.p.s. to ship anything. if you must use u.p.s. (if you live in outer
mongolia, and no one else will ship) insure it _heavily_. if it is
irreplaceable, ship it with someone else, or get it there yourself. you
can use any number of truck freight services, or shipping lines, and r.p.s.
ships more like u.p.s. if you don't have a truck depot nearby (in outer
mongolia). check any search engine for several alternatives to u.p.s.

Subject: Query: Shipping Large Items
Anyone on the list have any experience with shipping large component
items--fenders, bonnets, hardtops, engines--from the east to west coasts
(or
vice versa) in the US? I am primarily interested in knowing how private
individuals have gone about doing this and at what rate of success. Are
UPS
and FedEx the only options?
