I highly recommend amtrak.  David Fedderly sent me my CB-50 via Amtrak.  He sent it out on Friday and it was in my hands on the following Monday morning...a long trip to make in 2 actual days (Baltimore to Dallas).  It cost me $50.00 to have it sent and was worth every penny.  No damage to the horn, case, etc.  Very well cared for and put in a safe place at the station until I could pick it up.  They seem to treat musical instruments in general very well.  It's worth looking into in the future.
