I'm very used to first time shippers. I hope it works out well for you.

wrap it in bubble or whatever, put it in a gaylord strap it to a pallet

Paul,
I am on the receiving end of this package so I was not shipping. The
seller actually tried to ship FedEx but when he got there they told him
packed it would be bigger and/or heavier then what they could ship. He also
got a quote from UPS but they wanted $1200 to pack and ship the darn thing.
One of the biggest issues we had was that this was the seller's (and
frankly mine as well) first time shipping something so big. He was just not
setup to package the thing or transport it. So he wanted to have someone
come by and pickup, package, and ship. Eventually, he saw the need to pack
it himself (and at least based on the photos he sent) he seemed to have
done an excellent job. The desk is scheduled to arrive on Friday so the
proof will be in the pudding.
