Your's was probably in a crate - different from shipping a "rolling" frame.

Personally for the distance involved I'd take a bus and rent a flatbed, drive a car and rent a flatbed, etc. Not that far really. That way you get to inspect everything before you load it up..... Road trips are what make life interesting!!
