Gordo, I'd like to take that grille off your hands. I've had some experience with shipping that very same grille between Belleville and Chicago, Il. with ups and it was not good! Long story short is that I had one srtaightened and reanodized only to have it used for a wheel chock in transit. I got of my money and then had to start over. I built a wooden crate to ship it in and everything turned out o.k., but fairly expensive.I would be inclined to send the crate along with a ups label so that you could send it back if that works for you? Thanks Doug
