Re:  " wouldnt >even think of shipping a sliding door UPS or Fedex, neither of them would  even touch it..its about 5 times oversize.."

We receive and sometimes send items as large or larger  than a vanagon sliding door via Fed Ex, they will take it, but you pay through the nose.  Just today I shipped an inner quarter panel for a Odyssey van to California via Fed Ex "Priority Overnight", the quote was $472.06.  That was for Anchorage, AK to North Hollywood, CA, I would expect the rates to be a little more reasonable for the lower 48 States.
