Default Shipping a frame

Headcase kustoms just finished painting my frame in California i live in New Orleans. I sent it out via ups who thrashed the box and frame on the way out, which was fine since it was bare metal.. Now that it's painted how do I get it back unscratched. Any freight companies or motorcycle transports u recommend. And keep in mind, it's just the frame. No wheels, no engine, no fluids, just frame.
