Oh yeah....
Oh yeah, if you get the right container it will probably have handles on it
too for the driver to lift it with should he need to. I store over a hundred lbs of dog food in one, and regularly pick it up and move it around the house without it collapsing.

Re: Shipping T/C advice
The "junque" yard that shipped my AX15 + clutch assy and bell housing
put them in a plastic tub with newpaper to keep the pieces from rattling around and stuck it on a Greyhound bus. That's a whole lot heavier than a tc but it cost something like $80 from OKC to COS (600 miles or so) and got here the next day. The price was a bargain compared to any other shipping method I looked at. Two issues for the sender: you have to drop it off and it has to be drained. One issue for the receiver: he has to pick it up at the nearest bus station.
