Put it in a box and send it Greyhound. Much cheaper than UPS or FedEx.
 
yup, i just received something on greyhound and it was very reasonable.
 
if bus is not available you crate it carefull you can get to 149 lbs and drop it off at ups or fedex but it will cost more good luck
 
see some vendors shipping stuff in rubber made containers...seems to work well
 
Not an answer to your question really, but stock LC transmissions are typically pretty worthless and often not worth what they cost to ship. But it is your stuff so do with it what you wish.

I have shipped larger items pretty ecomomically by strapping to a pallet using old seat belts nailed to the pallet, deliver to local Dominion Freight/Gator terminal and shipping by class 85, which IIRC is a general low-cost classification. I shipped four leaf spring packs from AL to CO for just over $100.

dgangle your right i just took 6 4speeds and 4 3speeds to the scrap yard + abunch of other cruiser stuff .seems like only the small stuff is useful anymore or maybey there is so much of it who knows . problem is i have the weakness and will still buy em for parts good luck
 
will Greyhound take it like this?

Takes two he-men to move it...what do you think it weighs?
