We are having a problem with finding adequate shipping for this...
Most companies say that this is freight shipping, and that it will cost tons of moola....
But thats only because of size... All the pieces dont weigh more than like 55 or 60 lbs....
Anyone got any advise, or can anyone offer suggestions?
How do you guys ship large stuffs?

Volume is the killer on shipping. And the best bet is to probably build a crate for it do protect it during shipment. Some people have used Greyhound terminal to terminal but I don't know what their dimensional cutoffs are. If you want to take a chance and not crate it up that might be the best option.
If you want to play it safe, crate it up and had dimensions and total weight I can get pretty good rates through freightquote with a commercial discount. It does add up pretty quickly if either or both the pickup and delivery destination do not have a loading dock. If not, try to find someone who might that would do you the favor of being the pickup and/or delivery location.
If you get me those numbers I can give you an idea on cost.
