First, it sounds like a truck shipment. Strap it onto a wood pallet, call a truck freight company, and pay something like $200 to go almost anywhere int the continental US.

. Another possibility that might be less expensive. Wrap it in corrugated cardboard to make it closed and clean to handle by hand. It does not have to be rectangular, can be anys hape that maybe convenient. Measure overall dimensins, length, width, height, and weight it.

Look at point of origin and point of destination. Find the most sensible bus route there, same as if you wanted to buy a bus ticket to personally go somewhere. Then call the bus company to see if you can ship it by bus freight. The package must be delivered to the origin bus terminal, and it must be picked up at the destination bus terminal. En-route, they just throw it into the side door cargo space under the floor, and drag it out when it gets to the destination terminal. Travel buses commonly have lots of excess space under the bus floors,so bus freight can go anywhere the busses travel, with very reasonable freight rates.
