How does one go about shipping tanks?

[Doc Harry]

U.S. Postal service has fixed-rate priority shipping. "If it fits, it ships." Crush the cylinders down until they fit in one of the fixed-rate boxes.

Have you had success reconstituting the tanks?

Check FedEx, after setting up an account (easy). I find they regularly beat both USPS (anything not Flat Rate) and UPS (in the past - competition may have shifted that since). In June of last year, I paid $40 to ship a Faber LP80 by US Parcel Post from San Francisco to Marathon, FL. I think the cheap methods are all ground shipments. $150 for 75# by air sounds pretty cheap, offhand.
