Of course, the shipment would have to go either common carrier (truckline) or by UPS or FEDEX freight because of the size and weight. Several hundred bucks to ship depending on destination, and don't forget the insurance.

I guess I made the correct decision to drive 500 miles round trip to pick up the top I bought on eBay. I used less than 30 gallons of gas (when it was around $2.00 a gallon) and had to pay for a hotel room and a couple of meals.
I did have one bad moment. I couldn't get the top to fit on the car. The seller (who was about 75) and I worked for about half an hour at 10:00 pm before we got it to fit. The seller was moving the next day, so I was having trouble coming up with a "plan B" if I couldn't get it to work.
