For the $125 UPS store guy.......I have shipped quite a few bikes in the large Bike boxes from a local bike shop. Last one I shipped, a 28# 52" long box was $55 from East coast to West coast. The is if you call or go online and schedule shipping. If you go to the local "Pack and Ship", etc.... type chain shipping store it typically cost 2x actual UPS costs. If you don't have daily pickup at yur place of business UPS chrges around $5 to make a local pickup.
