Yep, cheap big coolers from WallyWorld will do the job & FedEx Ground, etc.
will pick it up @ your place & deliver to recipient. Like mentioned above,
Greyhound, Trailways, etc will take pretty big stuff, but you have to
deliver & pickup from the nearest bus station.
Coolers are insulated so good protection from abuse, unlike lighter wall
tubs, etc.
YMMV
