I just shipped a hood using http://www.freightcenter.com/
They give quotes for various companies so you can compare and choose the cheaper option, not as cheap as greyhound, but definitely was cheaper than fedex or ups.

you could try ESTES shipping company. They shipped my rear bumper from Cleveland, OH 44028 to Fort Worth, TX 76131. cost me $240. Expensive but they took care of it and only took 3 business days.
