Shipping Across The Country

Does anyone have a suggestion for a shipping company to get a console phonograph (150 lbs?) from the midwest to the west coast? I called several "moving" companies to see if it could be "blanket wrapped" and dropped off near me (I could get it to my house myself), but none of the people I spoke to were helpful.
Thanks.
Andy

Some people have recommended Greyhound bus, If both sender and recipient are near to a Greyhound terminal.

Call them and ask--far as I know --yes--the ship Jukeboxes, "blanket wrapped". Ron Rich

Many thanks for both suggestions.
I'm new to PhonoLand, and I appreciate the help.
Greyhound is good for smaller items that weigh less. I've received several "large" radios, like chairsides, that are too big to be shipped Fed-Ex. If packed properly, Greyhound is fine.
I'll call North American Van Lines this morning.
