How much would it cost to ship a dashboard, where should I take it, and how should I pack it?

Greyhound is an inexpensive alternative to the usual shippers. Especially for something big and bulky like a dash.

You can get accurate shipping quotes as long as you measure and weigh the package accurately.

Honestly, its not cost effective to ship a dash....or a bumper assy.
The shipping costs way more then the part.

We shipped a complete interior (dash, door cards, carpet, side panels, etc) once at the shop. We happened to have a box in the back that let everything fit and I think shipping costs came to just over $150. It's really the size more than anything else. You may as well ship it ground freight rather than using regular ground services.

Using dimensions a dash usually runs $125-150 range for shipping UPS or Fedex ground.
Zip code dependent too of course.
If one has a special contract rate it could be less
Generally speaking (with a few exceptions) the psychology of shipping a $100 part for $125-150
doesnt usually work with buyers.

Door cards can be shipped reasonably. Dimensions are the killer for other items.
