Have any of you guys ever had experience with shipping a frame in the USA? I am trying to find the most cost-effective method possible. NYC-->CA. Ideally would like the total under $30-40 ish. Possible?

Bikeflights.com will most likely be the cheapest, but $30-$40 isn't happening. It'll be at least twice that.

I shipped a frame from south Texas to somewhere up north a while back and I think it was like 30 bucks? I just put the frame in a box it would fit into and shipped it via USPS. I feel like it would be slightly more expensive to ship all the way from the east coast to the west coast though.

Just find a box that the frame is going to fit into, measure the demensions, and weight the box with the frame in it, then go online to the USPS website and get a shipping quote from your zip code to the buyers zip code.
