Best delivery method for turntables

I recently bought a technics turntable form ebay and its gonna cost $100 to get it delivered to me through pack and send!! does anyone know a cheaper way to get it to me without risking the turntable? how sturdy are these babies when delivering them?

I take it that price is for a courier? Tell them to send it via Greyhound (yeah..the buses), they'll gladly take it and considerably less than most couriers. I had a JP8000 delivered from Sydney to Cairns for $40.
