in my experience DHL rocks for all shipping.
sometimes you can find airfreight deals through airlines. Depending on what you're shipping sometimes it's cheaper than fed-ex, I don't know the cost for bikes though.
If you have the time Amtrak is supposed to be cheap, and safe. alot of my friends use Amtrak to ship their bikes back to New England. it takes 3-4 days, and I think it was super affordable.
whatever you choose, always insure your bike, and make sure to make sure you read the claim process information, so you know if you have to inspect anything before signing/leaving the pick up location/etc. There are a couple of large shippers that try to avoid any responsibility at all.
