For that distance, I'd use Craters &
Freighters. A clotheswasher
sized 11/03 cabinet is not going to be dinged up by typical freight
handling, just wrap and strap to a pallet ought to be good enough.
I wouldn't bet on it. I thought HP hardware was solid until I had a
machine sent to me. It arrived in more pieces than it should have done...
As Flanders and Swann (roughly the UK version of Tom Lehrer) said 'The
new way to split the atom : Send it through the post marked 'fragile'' :-)
