Do you have any recommendations for shipping items from here to AK, besides UPS and FedEX?

This is something that I'm going to be looking into as well. I've been told by folks that they use a "shipping company" to get goods from Washington to Seattle. For instance, it's cheaper to buy a set of living room furniture in Washington and have it shipped from Bellingham to Anchorage than it is to pay retail in Anchorage. These type of "shipping companies" are who the movers (like Atlas and United) hire to transport items from the lower 48 to Alaska. Again, these are all things I'm "told", but haven't verified it myself. It may be next week before I can get you some info, but like I said, I'm headed up there on Monday and can ask around.

Sears also has a location in Anchorage. I'm not sure if they do bush orders though.

I've heard it's cheaper to buy here and ship myself. Have actually delivered appliances years ago to Lynden transport in Seattle to be shipped.
