I have a populated Paragon playfield that I have wrapped up and placed into a bicycle shipping box. The box is 58x11x33. This calculates to 152lb dimensional weight according to the shipping calculator. Actual weight is around 50 lbs. I had sticker shock with the Fedex and UPS quotes that came back as $260 was the lowest I could find. I was expecting around $75. Anyone have similar experience and better advice on shipping a populated playfield?

(If it really costs this much, looks like I'm going to have to sell my populated playfields locally instead.)

Thanks for any help on this!

Just got back from UPS and actual did come in *a little* lower: $230 to ship with no insurance/no signature etc to residential addy.

This is shipping using a bicycle box so it is a bit large.

I packed it with large styrofoam corners that suspended the playfield so the box itself wasn't touching any of the mechs. It would have shipped fine.
Moot point now as I will just sell these locally at this point.
