Need help shipping Gen 1 RX7 Parts Across USA

So I got my hands on a really beat up 1982 Mazda RX7. Thing is I'm having the crappiest time finding body panels for it near my home state of Minnesota. I came across a guy on Facebook Marketplace who owns like 5 gen 1 Mazda RX7's that he's just parting out. He's given me a wonderful deal of about $1800 for two front fenders, both doors, front and back bumper, some suspension parts, +a engine in not the greatest condition. Only issue is he is based in Washington so I'm struggling to figure out how to get the parts back home. I don't have the time to make a road trip out there right now, the soonest would be middle of June. Our other idea was shipping them, however FedEx wants to charge $1500+ to do so and thats a heck no for me right now (idk if that's per crate we give them or for all the crates we plan to send). He's willing to set them aside for a small fee so my worry of someone snatching them goes away, however if I can have them shipped it would be a heck of a lot better. Does anyone know of companies or shipping methods that can help this be completed for a more affordable price? Just a highschool student scraping together dollars for a project car lol. Idk maybe you guys know more about sellers local to me.
