Casey how did you get a quote of 200.00 to ship 8lbs of clubs?  I shipped a tour/staffbag  hardcase to the East coast from the Westcoast for 28.00 and it weighted 15lbs through the USPS I could have put your clubs in it and it still would have been cheaper.

FedEx and UPS often have a minimum weight they charge for 'oversized' boxes.  I think it's like 35 lbs or something.  I just shipped several clubs and a staff bag for $50 with USPS.  They are much cheaper when it comes to longer or larger boxes that the private shipping companies.
