You might try Fastenal.  They do freight with their company trucks and it wa=
s very good pre COVID.  Not sure what it is like now.

Thanks,

Thanks for the ideas everyone.  If anyone's counting, that was three votes =
for Greyhound, one for Fastenal, two for UPS and one for yesterdaystractors=
.com.

If you've got another idea, let me know.

Thanks,

I shipped a Miata trans to be rebuilt this year via UPS for $150 (95#}.  Sin=

Many years ago I had a rebuilt overdrive shipped to me in a cardboard box we=
ight minimal packing material to protect it.  It arrived with the part of th=
e aluminum gear box that supports the stick shift snapped off.    It had to h=
ave fallen hard.  That cardboard box offered little protection.

Do take the time to crate it up.  If you=E2=80=99re handy, think about minim=
izing weight.  I went overboard during that incident and built a heavy, heav=
y duty crate to ship the broken trans back in so that it=E2=80=99s replaceme=
nt would be shipped back in that crate!  No doubt, that extra weight cost mo=
ney!   (I don=E2=80=99t recall the shipper and costs.)

Add handles or whatever helps to make it easier for shippers to move it safe=
ly.

I made a plywood box to ship a TR2-4 block.  The plywood was bolted directl=
y to the top, bottom, front and back of the block with the bolt heads reces=
sed.  I cut slotted holes to be used as handles.  The box was only the thic=
kness of the plywood against the flat surfaces larger than the block.  It w=
as very tight and secure.  I think the total weight was around 150 lbs.  If=
 I remember correctly, the block weighs 140 lbs. with the main caps.  Same =
weight as a bale of hay.  In the end I did not have to ship it, but I still=
 have the custom box. =20
