i had mine shipped from hawaii to utah, it had to go ups which weighed around 44 lbs. and it was around 95 usd, you wont be able to go usps becuase their is an overall length of 108 inches or 115 inches so i ended up using ups, they are the cheapest i recommend not using fedex, but if your shipping in conus then it shouldnt be that bad.. if you have the original box it wouldnt be to bad but you could go to home depot and use their flouroscent light bulb boxes
