I remember when I shipped mine from Christchurch about 180 miles I was initially quoted $1500 kiwi which was more than it cost, eventually it came up unpacked on the back of truck for $100 and thankfully arrived in one piece, particularly as the movers obviously thought it was a piece of junk!

I had Craters and Freighters pack and ship mine from Texas to LA... But it showed up in the back of an open Chicken truck... But it made it in perfect shape.
