If the head weighed 70 lbs, at $40.00, some of the shipping cost was subsidized
by the seller.
I have an on-line account with UPS, and inputting the information as follows,
the costs of UPS Ground (cheapest) and UPS 3-day select, you can see for
yourself what UPS actually charges, going from L.A. to Phoenix, Chicago, and New
York:
Weight packaged: 75 lbs
packaging dimensions: 30"X16"X16" (To insure shipping, UPS requires the
packaging be at least 4" greater than the object being shipped, in all 3
dimensions.)
Amount Insured: $500.00
Shipped from L.A.:
To Phoenix:
UPS Ground $55.00 UPS 3-day Select $112.00
To Chicago:
UPS Ground $63.00 UPS 3-day Select $150.00
To New York:
UPS Ground $70.00 UPS 3-day Select $165.00
Also, although cheaper than bubble-wrap, "peanuts" are nowhere near as effective
for shock absorbtion, nor for keeping a 70 lb amp head from shifting within the
package. Even balled-up old newspaper does a superior job to styrofoam
"peanuts".

Cardboard box with packing peanuts through UPS. It wasn't a gigantic
box but it arrived intact.
