Hello!

I have a huge amount of boxes that need to be shipped, and I don't know what my options are outside of the UPS store and FedEx (They're too big for the USPS.) Are there other options?

There's DHL, if you're just looking to get another quote. I have no idea if they do large boxes.

DHL doesn't do domestic shipping within the US anymore.

Amtrak? They say they do shipping, but I haven't actually tried it. What size are the boxes?

Huh. I sent my moving items via USPS Parcel Post with no problems about size. They were pretty biggish moving boxes, like 18x24. I have heard that USPS won't ship if there's a name brand on the box - regarding liquor, but I don't know if I believe that.

The boxes can take the bus..Greyhound has "package express" if you and the folks on the other end can get to the bus station. They give quotes online. http://www.shipgreyhound.com/

Check with Don at Arlington Package on Mass. Ave. I've used him to ship packages via UPS, Fedex and DHL. He is a super honest, will compare carrier costs, and will turn away your business if he thinks you can save money by shipping via USPS.
