Trace-
Unfortunately, your package exceeds the UPS/FXG maximum package size: length
X girth = 130"...your package is 172".
Your best bet is to find a friend or acquaintance who regularly ships by
common carrier (Yellow, Conway, etc) and ask if they'll ship it for you at
their discounted rate. Assuming you've been quoted $150 by a nationwide
common-carrier, a discounted minimum shipment charge should be somewhere
around $80. Pack it well...the carriers don't get excited about this kind of
freight and don't expect them to deliver to your consignee's home; they'll
hold it for pick up at their terminal which is seldom in a desirable
location. Another alternative is Greyhound Package Express...I think the big
grey dog will take about anything that will fit in their understorage.
