I am not sure I agree. If you leave it in the box as delivered then you can just put it through like any other piece of baggage. Possibly even put it inside another bag. It may be that you need to pay the extra $25 for an extra bag but that will be cheaper than UPS. I doubt the UPS baggage handlers are much gentler than the airline ones.
