[Milsurplus] Shipping a BC-375

[David Stinson]

 I've finally dug an extra BC-375 out of "the cave." 
 I packaged it to be "UPS-proof," encasing it in heavy cardboard
 with foam bumpers and putting that in an extra-thick box about 
 three feet tall.  Trouble is:  the shipping weight on the thing
 is 93 pounds!  UPS to middling-distance places in the US
 is like $120...... whew.   
 Is there a better way to ship it without damage, 
 or damaging shipping charges??
