My curiosity was piqued, so I used the calculator on the UPS website to get an estimate. Assuming your final package is 24 X 36 X 4 and 15 lbs. after wrapping and you declare a value of $2000, the cost to ship from San Francisco to Philadelphia (just picked a zip code that I knew) is $64.91. $18.00 is for the insurance. That's ground service, so probably 4 days to get it there at worst.
