BTW, I've obtained bike boxes from several different LBS's in different parts of the country and have never seen a Fed Ex or UPS on any of them.
Chill, just yanking your chain. If you have a good relationship with your LBS, take your bike there, ask them to pack it and ship it to another LBS at the new destination. They'll probably charge you a nominal amount for the packing, and charge the shipping at their cost. I know mine would.
