How do you think they ship transformers in real life? You strap it to a 
pallet and throw it on a truck, probably at class 70 rates. It's not a big 
deal to ship. Really. Crate the coil and the control console. You don't ship 
stuff like that UPS anyways.

That would be great.

Why? Anybody can buy a chainsaw. If you chop yourself up into pieces, it's 
your problem. You are responsible for what you do with it.
