Most likely Fed-Ex will be alot cheaper than UPS. I have always sent them in a box, especially if they were powdercoated.

It isnt easy. The last time I used the box my pressure tank (for my water well) came in. Or just wrap it in cardboard and tape it up good. It dont have to look good, just protect it. I guess shrink wrap would be ok also, just maybe put some padding on the bottom. I have shipped plastic in shrink wrap before but sometimes they wont let you insure it if it isnt boxed up in some way.

I believe there is an extra handling charge if it isn't boxed either. I agree that FedEx is prally going to be cheaper than UPS.
