What kinda stuff? (Hazardous, electronic, loose goods)

Special handling?

How Big?

How Heavy?

Where's it going?

You palletize or containerize yourself?

Budget-critical or time-critical?

Otherwise it's FedEX, UPS, DHL for most typical cargo.

Cheap and not critical - try Greyhound

I used DAS for door to door. The phone operators are dyslexic and have downs syndrome I think, but the driver was kick ass. He was super helpful (from what I heard from my friend, I wasn't there to receive my bike).
