I recently had a inoperative race car shipped from N.C. to Oregon. Found a shipper via USHIP.com which gets bids from shippers. They have ebay-style feedback ratings, so that you can ignore bidders that customers have had problems with. It took a little longer than I would have wished, but some of that was wavering on my part in choosing a shipper. Otherwise, I was very pleased with the entire process.
