Default Whats the best hardtop shipping?

What is the best way to ship a hardtop from one state to another without spending a lot of money and not having any damage? I realize it will probably be freight, but can someone hook me up with a link please.

Also, what are the dimensions of the box most likely going to be for an oem s2000 hardtop?

i think its gonna be tough, sure you can throw it in a box and ship it, but packing it right so it doesnt arrive damage is a different story since its so oddly shaped

you can try finding a box big enough for it, fill it with tons of foam peanuts and wrap the hardtop with tons of bubble sheets, that might work

Ask Flagstaff Honda, they ship tons of these things. On eBay they charge $200. So figure that price +/-

I'm driving 4 hours to pick mine up this weekend
