Best (least expensive) way to ship a bicycle cross country?

I know... I know... it is only 980 miles, ride the bike there ya big sissy!

But I did say least expensive... and when you consider the cost of ICU.

I was thinking take it apart (remove the wheels) box it up and maybe UPS?

I do a lot of flying to where I want the bike to be, how much to take it as over-sized baggage? has anyone done this?

I ask because I know there are a bunch of bicycle guys here and wondered if anyone has done this.

"Why?" you ask...

Well daughter in Portland, OR. got a POS bicycle off craigslist... I have a low miles mountain bike at my house in Los Angeles... I could give her my bike... and gosh darn it... I would have to go out and buy myself a new bike
