Shipping a tank/stand

Just received a call back from freightquote.com - AWESOME company to work with and their prices are much more manageable ($250). I would suggest them for anyone looking to ship via freight.
 
I am looking to have a tank and stand shipped to me, but am only finding high dollar options - cheapest being FedEx (MO - CO) $431.

For anyone that has shipped a tank and stand or anything of the like, do you have any suggestions? UPS was outrageous ($1300) and I have not had good luck on uship.

Advice? Suggestion? Guidance?

Thanks!
What size aquarium are you trying to ship
 
I was thinking the same thing is it a tank aquarium it's been dropped that means it's broken but I think it was dropped from the freight driver
 
My bad - I am just purchasing the stand and canopy - the tank isn't worth the additional shipping costs.
 
Because Exotic aquariums of Miami been building aquariums for over 30 years and they do really good work that's where my 350 came from

I'll take a look at them, but I'm guessing shipping would be a deal breaker.
