Any caveats or warnings? Preferred shipping agent for reliability perhaps?

Long story short, I need to get a relatively large and fragile box to the Blackstone in Chicago for a conference. Conference is over a weekend and I arrive that Friday so the situation seems to offer little to no cushion if it gets delayed in transit - so if it could arrive earlier that seems better.

Suggestions?
Call the hotel, explain the situation, ask if you can send it in advance addressed to yourself, c/o the general manager (or concierge or whomever). That way they'll be expecting it and you can pick it up upon arrival.
