Last year after I sold my Eclipse I sold the CBE and shipped it from SC to NY. The Eclipse CBE is lighter than the ones for the Z as it only had one smallish muffler and less piping. It was about $100 using FedEx. I priced it also with UPS and USPS, and FedEx was the cheapest by far of the 3.
To find your price, once you have the box dimensions and weight, just go to each of the major shipper websites and price it out based on your to/from zip codes.

GPX Value
At GPX, we offer same-day freight at next-day rates. Which means you can ship without going overboard on your budget. Compare our prices to our competitors and see why more people are switching to GPX. It makes lots of sense and saves lots of dollars. Example 1 Shipment: 5 packages totaling 100 lbs. (Each package has dimensions of 12 x 24 x 24) Pickup: 60707 (Chicago, IL) Deliver: 46226 (Indianapolis, IN) Same-Day, Scheduled Services (shipment available at 9:00 a.m.) Company / Service Delivery Time Cost GPX Direct 5:18 p.m. $137.94 DHL Same Day Service 6:00 p.m. $304.81 UPS SonicAir® 3:21 p.m. $375.85 Early Morning Delivery (shipment available at 3:00 p.m.) Company / Service Delivery Time Cost GPX Chicago Early AM 9:00 a.m. $96.73 FedEx Priority Overnight® 10:30 a.m. $265.45 UPS Next Day Air® Early A.M.® 10:30 a.m. $287.45 Example 2 Shipment: 1 package totaling 50 lbs.

How much does the package weigh? And the dims of the box will affect the cost if the dims' weight is greater than the actual weight.
Shipping ups/fedex without an account with them will be costly but your items are insured. Try finding a local shop/people with good discounts. I dont know how big or how heavy the box is but you can try to get a quote from edi express if you are shipping from the west coast to the east |

The randomness is that it uses whichever and doesn't tell you until the end, it just goes for the cheaper one Give me the dimensions and where it's coming/going and I'll give you a quote |

Thanks guys! As far as greyhound goes, are they reliable? Does you box come though looking like it has taken a beating?

Im certain you're responsible for the packaging. I dont think they take it off the bus, the recipient does but dont quote me on this.

I've used Greyhound Package Xpress several times. I shipped fenders across country. UPS/FedEx wanted close to $200. Greyhound was around $50. I have also received packages this way. All arrived unharmed. Plus, they arrive much quicker.
