Thanks! This looks great, as I can specify what flight it is on and fly out with it and pick it up after I land and drive right to the bank. Continental has nonstops to my destination.

Cost is 200% of regular tariffs, but for 15 or 20 pounds can't be that much. However, I have to find a wood (!) or metal shipping container.

It's a change of tax domicile issue. One of the things the tax authorities check is where you keep your safe deposit box. If you want to move out of a high tax state to a lower tax state, you should sever as many ties as you can, so they don't use them against you in court.
