1. Can you check this on UAL? Still in original box - weighs 51 LBS and measures roughly 60 inches on it's longest edge
2. Is it reasonable to expect that this would arrive without damage? Any experience shipping fragile electronics? Is there baggage insurance that is recommended for this?
3. Any idea what the Customs implications of this are?

Thanks in advance everyone!

To be safe there is Fedex or UPS ground very cheap for that and it not going to be damage.
