gumbi,
If it's that rare and you can't make the trip to get it then pay the seller to build a box. Make it out of 7/16" OSB, screw the OSB to a 2x2 frame, screw two strips of 2x4 to the bottom so a forklift can get under the box, bungee cord the hood to the bottom so it won't bounce around inside the box and pay the freight. That's the ONLY way I'd have a hood shipped...many good hoods have been ruined by the shippers.
