By product, do you mean flat cutouts, or big fabricated parts, or huge gates, or what? Clarification needed.....

If it's small, USPS Flat Rate Boxes...if it's large, Flat bed truck.

We ship all of our signs by FedEx. We've not had a problem yet.

If Its small I go through ups. If its too big for them I go freight which can be any number of carriers including UPS freight. I use a freight broker to book large shipments. A couple of the brokers I use are Freightcenter and Echo. Freightcenter is my favorite. Ive also used BlueGrace Logistics and Frontier Logistics and another one but the first two is all I use now. They will get quotes from different carriers for you.

I've never used it, but I've talked to our local Fastenall manager about it, and apparently they will freight stuff store-to-store for a really reasonable flat rate. Maybe $75 a pallet? Can't remember exactly. I've read about guys using it to send engines across the country.

For my small stuff, flat rate USPS. Larger, USPS Priority Mail. Occasionally UPS and FedEx, just depends.
