Box it yourself, lots and lots of padding. You could have a custom wood crate created. but that isn't really necessary. You can get empty large boxes at Home Depot etc.. that you can customize them yourself (fold/cut etc.). Get cloth pads from a u-haul place and wrap the desk with those, tie them on with heavy cord. Then use your modified cardboard box to enclose it all. Fill in all the empty space with more pads or bubble wrap or newspaper. Tape the whole thing up and your good to go. Then ship it with a company like ABF or roadway. A moving company will be insane expensive. http://www.abfs.com/Default.asp?bhcp=1 http://www.yrc.com/
