One word of advice Barry, DON'T ship it with glass! No carrier will insure it,
and
you can almost gaurntee that the glass will break and damage the print. Send the
framed print w/o glass and include a MO to have the glass installed on the
other end.
I am not sure if USPS will take anything that big, UPS might not either. In any
case,
with oddball stuff FedEx (NOT FedEx ground) seems to be the best, but it will
probably also be the most costly method.
