Don't know if they still do it, but years ago Greyhound did some
pretty good stuff with freight like that, if you could get it dropped
off and picked up at a station.

If you know someone who regularly ships via freight lines, see if they
will ship it from their dock for you. Large volume shippers get huge
discounts compared to individuals.
