Check out uship.com

You can name your price and people will pick up the shipment. Or you can take bids and pick the lowest.

I used these guys to get my top, pretty simple and painless. Delivery was pretty quick.

Here are some pictures of a hard top in a crate:

Here's a picture of one that was shipped in a cardboard box:

I think the crate is the way to go.

Good luck.

thanks I have contacted a couple of the places. I got a decent deal on the top, it was $1100, but it was in silver which is the color I wanted and they are not easy to find. So if it ends up costing $1400 I am ok with that.
