So I just shipped a small case diff via greyhound and it cost 130 bucks.. Are there cheaper places to go through? Any advice on shipping large heavy parts would be cool

An LTL freight carrier might be cheaper, but that's a definite maybe. I'd probably build a small wooden enclosure and call them with dimensions/weight.
Even if a boxed-up diff is within the weight limits for the small package guys, there is no way I'd try shipping it with them.Comment

I FedEx medium case diffs often. Usually $60-$90 for me without a special account. 94 lbs on average for me too. I've boxed them and made an internal wood crate or use that spray foam method posted on here.-Ryan
