Or hang on to them until next year and sell them at the Canadian Extravaganza!
I bought one Paradise Estate online a long time ago and it was shipped to me and it arrived okay with nothing broken, but it had discoloration so I didn't want it and I met up with a pony collector who wanted it and gave it to her for free. She was not very close to me, but in the same state, and I arranged to take a trip to her city and personally delivered it right to her door. Then, I bought another (absolutely mint, complete Paradise estate with box) from a local pony collector (yay, no shipping involved) and later on (sadly) sold it and shipped it across the country. It was like 15 years ago and it cost a fortune to ship even then. It might have cost close to $100 for shipping and the box, but I sent it by UPS, not USPS. It arrived fine. I used huge amounts of bubblewrap and spent a lot of time packing it carefully... I don't ever want to ship that again. I tthink it is best to find someone local if possible.
As far as packing goes . . . lots of bubble wrap or those packing 'air bags', and take playsets apart as much as possible (like separating the different towers of Dream Castle) to prevent pressure / breakage on delicate parts like the hinges.Shipping can be expensive, like everyone's said. Especially for any oversize packages. I'd sell locally if possible!
