Best way to ship 3 tanks from TX to FL on the cheap?

[Texasguy]

Need to ship to myself from TX to FL about 3 tanks, 2 steels (130cu) and one alum 80cu.

Not looking forward to drive over there myself. Therefore, looking for options that are not overly expensive. Not in a hurry.

What advice do you have for me?

Take the valves off and send via FedEx ground.

Leave the valves on (I ship valved but empty tanks all the time, put an "empty" label on them), band them together, take them to UPS. Make sure the aggregate weight is less than 70 lbs. If not, ship them separate. The problem will be protecting the DIN valves. You could plug them, or remove them and plug the necks, or wrap foam around them to protect them from damage.

Doubled OMS 85's with OMS manifolds weigh 68 lbs, just so you know....
