Greyhound discontinued parcel and passenger service throughout Canada a couple years ago.

Is that recent? I know they suspended it for a while, but reinstated service (at least partially) a couple of years ago. I used Fastenal a little over a year ago to ship a transmission.

Well, their website still shows that the DO ship, just not cross country - only eastern half or western half, which was the case the last time I used them. The zones have changed, however, as a year ago the Mississippi was the line between east and west zones.

Fastenal??

The Las Cruces Fastenal has never participated in “third party” shipping. Guess they don’t want the inevitable squabbles that will arise. Do remember reading on their website, in fine print that individual locations can opt out.
I no longer offer shipping on big items. But mention that am acquainted with a Ushipper.
