Default Shipping a 12ft. long retractable awning down to TV from Philly area? Any ideas?

Ciao, all! Am looking to get a 12ft. long retractable awning down to TV from Philly area. All the conventional shipping methods are too expensive to make this feasible. Any other ideas?? Someone moving down and already has a truck ordered we can rent space on? Someone driving down to visit and can bring it for us? Maybe a snowbird returning in a vehicle large (long) enough to accomodate this?? We couldn't fit it in our car on our last visit, our back seat doesn't collapse. Help...looking for ideas!

Check with Greyhound. I ship a lot of car parts using them. Have shipped car hoods. Prices are very reasonable.

Nah!! my sister bought it at...ready?...a Christmas shop in Philly area.For $200.!!! It's exactly what we wanted for the lanai, but any company we get out here wants $2500 or more..and that's not even electric open. Anyway, thought she could just ship it to us, but that's proving difficult. I might hafta rent her a van for a week, have her bring it down and get a visit out of it!!! Thanks for responding!!
