Heavy stuff ships by Greyhound Bus pretty handily and affordably but it goes depot to depot. I sent a pair of van seats in a single box from here to Seattle for about 80 bucks.
I think one of those jacks would be ideal for my project but I'm not quite ready for it yet.

These jacks are great - buyer beware - don't use an impact drill on them. I snapped the eyelet where the extension hooks in to the jack off of my first one after only a few months of use. Presumably because of using the impact drill ever so slightly to get them up to height. If I hadn't picked up a new one, I'd be grabbing one of these. Great deal for whoever gets them.
