hey Bradford, Are you by chance taking it to the ups store? possibly letting them pack it too?

If you pack it yourself and take it to an actual ups hub it should be MUCH cheaper.... ups store is another business and makes a profit over what ups actually charges.

yes, I'm gonna get the wheel off, and that should need a much smaller box, probably do one of those "if it fits it ships" deals from the post office.

My glad I wasn't holding you up any, it will be a lot sooner than 8 months.
