I ditto the Greyhound suggestion. They have an side business shipping odd-sized items that don't fit in the regular UPS/FedEx dimensions, and are cheaper for shipping with the caveat that both shipper and receiver need to visit their respective bus terminals because they don't offer door-to-door (at least the last time that I checked).
I shipped a spare fiberglass formula race car body to someone, and Greyhound came out way cheaper than any of the LTL carriers. I admit to never putting it up for bid on U-Ship, but I guess that you could get lucky there if someone is passing by on the route and has free space on their trailer for a quick side load.....
