Greyhound refuses, no biggie. Use a common carrier like Yellow, Fast Freight, Reimer, UPS etc etc.. I have little doubt carriage can be had for under $85.
No matter who the carrier is, if the item is light enough to be handled by hand, it will be tossed, thrown and other evil things.
Bubble, cardboard and shrink. Bubble does scratch, consider foam instead or plastic wrap first.
Consider UPS if ur in the USA (they're not a good choice in Canada). Assuming Chicago to Buffalo, 80 lbs, 72"x12"x9" ground service would run $65. Not bad for a courier based on cbm rates without an account.
Avoid residential deliveries = $$$ increases. If whomever you work for has existing accounts, try to utilize those for better rates (eg. my cost to ship ups would be $38 based on my US account rates).
