wow, you're a big 'un.
about UPS: i used them to ship a bike from san diego. the hub axle poked a hole through the box.. not sure if that was due to shoddy packaging or crappy handling in transit (probably the latter). it took awhile to get to toronto but in all fairness, it was more of a custums thing. it took something like 3-4 days to get from san diego to windsor and that's where it sat for something like a week. it wasn't cheap but i think my grand total was about a 100 canuck bucks and that includes duty and taxes and other superfluous things which wasn't that much anyways. i don't have any reasons not to go with them again. aiiiight.
