    For ground shipping, YRC Freight has been reliable in my experience. Shipped a TAF from New Jersey last year for ≈$450.00 and also a Hobbit from Seattle with them. It helps if the shipper is willing to palletize and wrap. Shipping time with YRC is about 4-8 weeks from the east coast depending on when they make it to the barge terminal in Seattle.

    If they're in a real hurry I'd recommend shipping via Alaska Airlines Cargo which is another good option from the east coast. You'll need to get the game to one of their terminals (Newark, or JFK), but once there the cost is comparable to ground shipping. The one caveat is that you'll need to have or know someone with a Known Shipper Number to ship direct with the airlines, otherwise you'll need to use a freight forwarder for air shipping and that can be expensive.
