Don't bet on it. You'll get stung by what the freight companies like to call 'CUBIC WEIGHT'. It costs a bomb to freigth anything of size unless you're doing it in bulk or regularly. Someone posted on here a while back suggesting INTERSTATE BUS COMPANIES. Just pack the frame well (including false axles) before shipping.
