Can't add a whole lot to what the others have said.
UPS will take stuff up to 150# but it does get spendy & they have a number of hoops you need to jump through. IE it needs to be in a cardboard box etc.
For larger items I use LTL carriers. All of these are kinda handy for me as there is a warehouse in my town and I can make a appt to meet with a LTL driver and there is a business in town that operates a drop point for UPS. I would most likely use FedEx if I didn't have to drive 40 miles to drop the item.
With LTL carriers keep in mind there are steep discounts. The rate you get online without a discount you can most likely cut in half. The other thing you need to do with LTL is state what is in the box. Makes a huge difference in the rates.
Nother possibility that I have used ONCE. I have a OTR Logistics company in my town and am pretty good friends with some of the drivers. I got a garden tractor shipped to OH this way for $100. Need to make sure the receiver has the needed facilities which is quite another story.
