The shipping place wanted about 165 bucks for FedEx or UPS, so I went back to the shop to find a smaller box and my buddy showed me the bikeflights website and it only cost 37 freaking dollars.
Not bad...a round trip shipment runs around $175 with $5k worth of insurance. Last time I looked into one of those websites, it came out to about $200 each way.
