Shipping large items?

Ill be selling a set of seats and roll bar in the near future and was wondering the best and least expensive way to ship large items. I have used greyhound in the past but am looking for other options.
Thanks

Greyhound was going to be my suggestion but you don't need that.

What quantity of stuff to a single buyer? I could see getting a Pod delivered, filling it, and having it moved to buyer... but that would be for a lot of quantity/volume, not just a couple of seats.

Before you try uShip I suggest you watch an episode of A&E "shipping wars" and then think real real hard.

If you can strap it to a pallet, LTL (Less than a Truckload) shipping. UPS Freight is usually the least expensive. Forward Air is an LTL shipper.
