Shipping a Thermin?

A friend of mine needs to ship a vintage RCA thermin from Durham, NC to Tucson, AZ

If you don't know what a thermin is, just think of a large vintage cabinet speaker with a tube amp built in.

It is in 2 pieces 50lbs 24x12x34 and 100lbs 24x12x48.

My friend is going to build boxes for both pieces so probably a little larger in the end.

Lots of horror stories of UPS with large expensive items.

Anyone have shippers / movers the can recommend for this type of thing?

Thanks

thanks Swampwalker, strapping to a pallet makes sense as it will force them to ship it upright and not stack it.

any commercial freight companies you can recommend?

In my own deals here I have run across the insurance problems with UPS and Fedex. It seems like they never pay damage no matter what.
