I have the ability to ship through work and they have a really good corporate discount with FedEx. In fact, I was able to cover shipping of the TRANSMISSION from my direct drive to/from the Midwest for a total of under $100.
I recently sold a kneeboard that was made of ABS plastic (so It was pretty heavy at 17 pounds for the whole package), and I'll try to find what my shipping costs were for that.
The biggest thing is that with boards, you get into the problem of dimensional weight, where they upcharge the "weight" of the package based on the box being larger than normal. It really screws ya.
