I need to have a large fiberglass part shipped from LA to the midwest. Probably 6 feet across by 25 by 15 inches and 25 pounds. Any suggestions on shippers to use.

Have you considered Amtrack or Greyhound? Didn't they used to take parcels?

Yes, your Rustytude! I just bought a fiberglass front bumper and had to have it shipped from FL to CA. The company (Fiberwerks) sent it via Greyhound freight. $40 to ship and they are open on the weekends.

By comparison, I shipped a front fender to a list member by UPS. Weight was next to nothing but because of the size it cost $55.

I've used Greyhound and Amtrac - worked great for me in both cases.
