Urgent - shipping frustrations, where to go?

[andsoitgoes]

Okay - so I'm trying to ship something from Surrey to Port Alberni, and I can tell you right now it's getting to be a pain in the you know what!! :P

I just called greyhound who were so kind to tell me they can't offer any sort of guarantee on anything to do with the package arriving within the next day (yay.)

So - that said, shipping from Surrey next day isn't an option, what is? Where do I go that it's not going to cost more than 10 -15, which is an AMAZING deal?

ANother option is that my father in law is going over to Nanaimo tomorrow on a very early ferry, should arrive there around 8:30am or so, and if that's the case, where would he take so that it could arrive in port alberni? If we do greyhound, they again guarantee NOTHING (yay) but they don't foresee it being an issue to have it on the 10:30am bus.

Thoughts? I'd like to get some answers and get this packed up tonight to get there tomorrow!

Thanks (and thanks for being so patient, castaway!!)
