Yeah, I could probably help ya, pm me when you get here. As far as packing your bike I'd say go to your lbs and ask for a box, take off your handlebars, wheels and pedals. I would wrap the frame in bubble wrap or at least an old blanket or something, Put the frame and handlebars in the box,(handlebars the long way), put one wheel in front and one wheel in back on opposite sides. Tape. Also, I prefer FedEx but that's just me. Good luck.
