Shipping tank - need some advice - thanks

[TVR]

Hi All:
The story: My boss's friend in Taiwan shown me a really really nice aqua system that he custom made there and I can have it for free (Well, not actually with those I've done for him ) It's about 300G+ system fully equip'd
So, just talking about the big tank itself. my question is: Have anyone have tried / known / have / attemp about the shipping from Asia to Canada for this kind of frague shipping?
That genterment mentioned to me about the shipping with insurrance, but I never tried nor have seen this kind of shipping before; So need to see some ideas... on this before making decision.

Any advise, idea, knowledges... on this will be a great help to me.

Thanks in advance.
