Ship it motor freight and have them strap the box to a wooden pallet or it WILL get broken.

Just ask Don Carter about the one he sent me UPS last month!

Don't go with UPS or Fed Ex it is too heavy and will get damaged.

We use Fed Ex Motor Freight, USF Holland, Yellow and Roadway all with good results.

Good luck
