Re: shipping quotes?
DHL and Greyhound work really well for large stuff, I use USPS for everything else.

Re: shipping quotes?
I use the postal service and fedex for shipping. All my small stuff I use the post office to, there online calculator is pretty accurate. For big stuff I use fedex, register with a credit card and buy the shipping online, it is alot cheaper that way. Then just drop off at a shipping place that does fedex. You arent charged on fedex till it is delivered and that is when they charege the amount, that way if you are off on the weight they correct it. Hope this helps.

Re: shipping quotes?
all the major shipping companies have a quote feature on their website.
make sure you know the exact dimensions, and weight, then add a couple bucks for the service fee at the shipping place (offsite shipper).

Re: shipping quotes?
I used Roadway to ship a 46" lcd tv. 1500 miles $150. Fedex across the board is cheaper.
