Shipping options - again

Anybody shipped an uncoupled bike lately? I found the set of used wheels I was looking for in another thread. They are in Philly, and have a 2003 Burley Tosa attached to them that's just the right size for Maggi to pilot with our daughter!

A search of some of the other shipping threads on here led me to Aliant Express, but they want about $165 to bring it to Tampa, and that's with terminal drop-off and pick-up, not door-to-door.

Checked DHL, and they no longer handle domestic freight, just international.

UPS says it's over-size and over-weight, so that makes the "billable weight" 159 pounds, and they want $965!! ROFL! And I thought $165 was highway robbery!

Anybody sorted this out lately?
