I've used greyhound with good results and a decent price considering what I was shipping. Only problem is that you have to both be near stations.

I went to walmart and got two boxes that the Paper towels come in. They have a large top and large bottom that the front seats and the rear seat botoms fit in perfect. The cost of those was 60 dollars and I just wrapped the back seat in bubble wrap and shipped it for 20. Sounds ghetto but works awesome

packaging them in a "normal" looking way usually saves money even if it's bigger
