You will probably spend more on shipping than the tank is worth or more for s&h than you paid for it. :notsure:
Probably have to contact ups or fedex or a bulk shipping company with dimensions and weight and see if it's worth it.

Shipping will be $. Am thinking you might want to Google freight shipping or look in the yellow pages. Call some of the vendors and ask them how they do it. Basically just a plywood box, lots of bubble wrap and tied down.

Don't waste your money, buy a new tank local. You will save $$.

its only 200 dollars for everything, like the whole setup with a nice stand..
