shipping query

[rayfri]

am pondering doing what I never thought I would do... selling one
of my two Apache transmitters.
If I actually do the unthinkable.. I am wondering if anyone has
any advice or actual experience with shipping one of the big heavy
heath transmitters such as the apache, dx 100 or the marauder
or maybe even the warrior amplifier?  Will it need a wooden crate?
Will UPS refuse because of the weight... will it have to go
by some special shipping..?   whats been the experience out there?
Years ago I had some hams say they shipped by taking out all the
tubes and even removing one or two of the transformers to lighten
the load and sending those separately...
Comments or questions anyone in case I take that final step..
