How do I ship a bed frame from Berkeley to DC in a quarantine?

I have a queen-size wooden bed frame that matches my other furniture. But it's on the wrong side of the country from me. Small moves quotes have been ridiculous—$800 from one company, and $4000(!) from another. Craigslist hasn't been fruitful. Ideas?

In another time, I would just post on craigslist until someone with a Uhaul with a little extra space would take the bed for $100. But with COVID-19, things seem...not to be moving that way. (I do wonder if the project seems like a craigslist scam tbh.) I've also looked into the recommended companies from old questions (MiniMoves, Ship Smart) which were way out of the price range for cross-country. I'm out of ideas...so how do I get this thing across the country?
