Christies was going to charge right at $1,400 to ship but I was able to get the UPS Store on 82 Nassau Street in NYC to pick up, package and ship to me with $5k insurance for $312.05. Yes, I had to pay the $188 sales tax but after it's all said and done I still saved $900 using a third party shipper.
The UPS store # is 212-406-9010 if anyone wants to use them to ship.

For me Christie's shipping is $526.96 or the sales tax is $521.41.
I'm screwed either way.
