There's a few shippers here and on the HAMB. I have personally used BenD on the HAMB to ship parts (a set of running boards) and have nothing but good things to say about him.

I had a pair of 36 pickup fenders shipped to me in Chicago from California via Greyhound. Worked great and was inexpensive. You have to pick them up at the station closest to you.

You need to check out Forward Air. They are cheap on big items. What they do is use available space on commercial airplanes. They only ship from major to major airports however, no home delivery.

Greyhound worked for me on a pair of front fenders for a '41 coupe from ND to NH. Fast and cheap but you have to pick them up at the terminal. No home delivery.

Better double check the Fedex rate, I have been checking fender shipping and the UPS Fedex are comparable. Greyhound is cheaper, but the locations are few.

Good luck with greyhound, I'd rather strap them on my back and walk them home. They would get there faster.
