Somewhat OT: Freighting Items

I know this is a topic that comes up quite often and I have archived a number of threads. However, I am still not finding what I need. The back story is that I need to have a desk shipped across the country to me. The desk measures 28" long, 27" wide, 35" tall and is ~125 pounds unpacked. While it is possible to disassemble the desk I rather not. I've gotten quotes form a number of outfits as follows: 1. UPS: $1200 to pack/crate the desk and ship it. 2. Craters and Freighters: $895 to wrap in PE Foam, Styrofoam, bubble wrap, and box shipped door to door (i.e. not real freight). 3. Freightquote: $475 if I palletize it/pack it myself (have to clarify if this is door to door or do I have to drop off and pickup). Anybody else have other suggestions/recommendations? From what I understand this desk is not that heavy (in the freighting scheme of things) and would easily fit on one pallet and maybe even a half pallet. But I've never shipped something via freight so maybe these are all accurate prices. Any help/guidance is very much appreciated. Thanks. -Ali
