DHL had a great service based on space availability. If you weren't in a hurry for something, they would take it based on when they had the room to put it in the cargo hold.
I shipped an 8kW marine generator from Wisconsin to Florida one time via this approach. This was a fairly heavy (400+ lbs) piece of equipment on a shipping skid. If memory serves me correctly, it was only a couple hundred bucks and it got there in a little over a week. The only hook was they could only do tailgate unload, so the recipient got a truck with a liftgate on it and picked it up at the terminal.

I ordered something online from Munich for my C300 six months ago and it came to New York by DHL and then USPS to Seattle. Nine days including sitting in Customs for two days.
