What company might be the best for shipping a trans axle, as far as price goes?

Thanks! I have instructions on my website on how to pack and ship via greyhound. They are inexpensive and can be quick. When you drop off, see if they can find a route from point A to B that requires as few of bus changes as possible. That reduces the amount of loading/unloading and potential for damage. Pack the transmission in a way that assumes someone will tip it over by accident.

A 914 transmission, dry, but prepared for shipping (on a small wooden pallet) is right at about 95-100 lbs.
