You can ship up to 150lbs using ups. I would just make sure to pack them in multiple boxes with a ton of packing material.

If you are using UPS ask the receiver if they could use someone's commercial address. Commercial addresses always help when using UPS. Don't just make one up, make sure it is going to an actual business.

Agreed, that's not heavy. You can get on UPS's website and get retail price quotes, or get with a friend that ships with them and have him quote it for you. They will be under 60lbs if packaged properly!

agree on commercial. Resi's are more expensive, and insure them, and ask for "signature required"...
