Next time I'll try FedEx.

Meanwhile, just to inject some hard data, I sent a frame from Philly back to
Ellsworth (somewhere in Cali)  via UPS ground - insured for $1,500 - for a total
cost of $28.80.    That included a charge of a few bucks for them to pick it up
at my back door.

OTOH, I sent another frame back to Ellsworth a few months earlier and foolishly
did it through one of those "we pack and ship" type frachises.    To be fair,
they *did* supply the box and pack it.   Also via UPS.  Total cost $111.09!!!!.
