Usually common post servise is cheapest way (I mean US post service, Canada post service, Australia post service... that kind ones
 ). So no DHL, no FedEx, no UPS, etc... just common state post service. That's my experience.

is it as big as a door? most postal services have a limit to the size of the package (and perhaps weight?).. which is about 1.75m long or something along those lines. anyway, when it comes to shipping heavy packages in Canada, i think of Greyhound or DHL. if it's something that's really heavy and requires a pallet, forklift, etc you'll need to ship through freight. DHL and Trans-X are about the only ones i've dealt with and was satisfied with the cost and service for both..

UPS is in the UK as well as the states. Not sure about Canada. If it were light and going to the states I could help you out, but I'm not sure how it would work going to Canada and the fact that it's pretty heavy would make it really difficult. Good luck!
