I have used UPS to send my quilts. The service is excellent. You can save a lot of money by finding out in advance how they charge. For example the first time I sent quilts I used a long, low box and found out that a square or cube would have been several dollars cheaper. The next time I shipped, I bought a box from the UPS store at a cost of $9. Now I know what shape I need and get my own box in that shape before I send.
