It appears that USPS is widely used for shipping a variety of consumer products. The surfboard company mentioned above, however, uses Sagawa Express and Yamato Transport for shipping their surfboards because surfboards are easily damaged during shipping if not packaged well, and the manufacturer found Sagawa and Yamato provide the best service.
