Consolidated Freight has shipped for me twice without incident. Their regular pricing is on the low side compared to other freight and I believe they have a flat rate up to 1500lbs. The person who took my order offered me a 50% discount, a deal that I think anyone can get just by asking. One problem is that CF will not insure "used household goods", so if you want insurance it must be provided by an outside carrier. I don't know what insurance options are for "new goods".
BTW, air freight was substantially higher than any ground freight.
