Package it up. Set it on the porch
UPS will pick it up from your house/etc for free. Call 1-800-PICKUPS and schedule a pickup. (You can also fill out the paperwork online, http://www.ups.com)
They will ask the to/from, dimensions, and weight (you can ... bend the truth). The most they will ship is 150pounds... Somehow my 220pound transmission miraculously made it though, I think there was an "error" stating it was 120pounds.

Much cheaper than UPS, but you have to take it to the distribution center near you.

My roommate shipped a dirtbike to Louisana from Washington, the buyer paid the shipping but it was only line 100$ or something.
Really cheap and they even provided the crate for shipping. Only downside is that you have to drive to them and they can be a ways away. We had to drive an hour and a half. in traffic.:ylsuper
