I need a company to pickup, pack and ship a mirror from Tuscaloosa
Alabama to central NJ. The mirror is about 5ft by 3 ft and the frame
is about 2 1/2 inches thick. Total weight is about 80 pounds.

Any suggestions about how to get this done (economically) would be
appreciated.

I calculated the cost via UPS to be about $300.00 which is more
than I can justify for the mirror.

Build a sturdy box and ship it motor freight. Maybe $60 in freight
charge.
Thanks for your reply, but I need what I asked for..pickup, packing,
and shipping. I am in NJ, not Ala. The shipper must do all three
things, not just shipping.

UPS doesn't pack.

UPS stores pack, as in "pack and ship".

Having emphasized your needs, you're looking for a local agent to handle the
shipping details.

You can probably find one on the cheap by posting an ad in the Tuscaloosa
(or neighboring) Craigslist.
