I think the shipping company could probably tell you. I guess if it's strapped down to the crate, you could always mabe make a cardboard cover.
My welder came freight from Ohio. a cardboard box strapped to a pallet.

My trans I just got only had a pallet wrapped with shrink wrap, but make sure its completely empty because if they see a leak or some fluid the shipping company will freak.

I got a tranny for my daughter's car shipped from Georgia to Minnesota and it cost $130. It was strapped on a pallet and shrink wrapped. That was about 4-5 months ago and we used ConWay. And it had NO fluid in it.

Can't be much more difficult than a chin spoiler ;)
It's Gumby's fault.

I had my Richmond 5spd sent to me, came in a box(with fitted styrofoam) strapped to a small pallet. I have no idea what the cost was.
