I used Jetta.com.au to move 26 kg of stuff in a 6 foot long snowboard bag, they are out on Kingsford Smith Dr just before the Gateway Bridge. It cost me $285.00, which was fine, because the airline I was flying internally in the US wouldn't take the snowboard bag cos of its hugeness, and it only took just over a week, which I was happy with.
I did have a small problem though. By the time I got out to Jetta, they had realised they didn't ship to my local airport (Reno), so in the end I had to go to Sacramento, which is about 2 hours further away. Ok, fine. I called to verify my stuff had arrived, was told it had, drove the 3 and a half hours through the snow to Sac, only to find that while my bag was there, the customs paperwork was not, it is shipped on a separate flight so it doesn't get lost (it's actually kind of funny) so come back next week. Bit of a pain. But apart from Jetta, I didn't know what I would have done, cos of the awkwardness of my baggage.
Excess baggage sounds good, but only if you are booked through the one airline to your destination. You have to be careful too because some domestic airlines have reduced their per bag weight limit, like Southwest has a 50lb limit per bag, but you can take 3 bags (whereas Qantas has a 32kg limit per bag but only 2 bags allowed).

Good luck!
