Well, that would depend on how badly I wanted one, I suppose.

However, in my experience of shipping large receivers, properly packed, like the R-390A, 
SP-600, SRR-11, RAL, I found that using FedEx GROUND was both a bit less expensive 
and FAR safer than using any other shipper.

Shipping your package listed above from my house (83843) to yours (75173) via FedEx 
Ground would be $128.21

YMMV, of course.
