FedEx and UPS are not appropriate venues for shipping large tubas.

They tend to throw cartons (and not just a few feet). In addition, the maximum allowable cartons sizes for those shippers do not allow for enough cushion for the long-distance throwing and dropping that most all cartons receive at UPS and FedEx.

Full size tubas should be shipped via common carrier (a truck line) in cartons so large that they might possibly not even fit through standard doorways.
