    Greenlight will pack/ship boards for you. They were the cheapest I could find. They have bulk freight accounts and get the best rates.

    Amtrak. Anywhere in the country under 100lbs. $60. Just pack them well, Obviously. They really take care of their/your stuff. Been shipping boards back and forth from California to Florida and all through New England. Find an Amtrak station near you that handles freight- most do- and see what the closest one to your recipient is.
    When you fill out the Info for Recipient make sure it's the person going to pick it up, they have to show id at the station and sign.
    That's it. You can't beat it for price/security.

    When I ordered my board from SUPERbrand it came in the same thing as this, but inside another box. With house foam under that haha,
