Cheap (-affordable) shipping of large items from the states?

Various vendors seem to be able to get mad deals on shipping over here for various items.. but whenever something comes up in the for sale section of these forums it's always 'service x said 'too big' service y said $700, service z said $1100'

surely there is a particular company that doesn't charge out the ass? the latest item was 2 sway bars (UUC sway barbarians in particular), somehow UUC can offer $240 odd shipping (via UPS), but the cheapest i can get was (i'm not even sure how) $350-$400 from UPS, but then i must have changed some info as it jumped up to $700ish

then i checked shipito.. came to almost $400 or so still, so no good really.

thanks for any suggestions >_<

ED: i'm guessing the vendors a la UUC get 'business rates' since they'd ship rather regularly,and it's just not possible to get even remotely close with private one off shipments?
