Just go get the thing. It could be a fun road trip. Just don't pick up Neal Patrick Harris on the side of the road.

Use a freight service:

Yellow
UPS Freight
etc

I use a locally based one for regional stuff.

It's going to be quite expensive to ship. Especially if you buy the packing material from UPS. I made that mistake when shipping a diff a few years back. Cost me like $220 to ship the damn thing.
