As posted above, please discuss the shipping costs with the shipper.
Is it possible the $150 includes the packing, the materials, insurance and the UPS shipping cost?
Since the item weighs 55lb, and it is about 17x17x10 size, The shipping box will be about 20x20x15, and the total weight would be close to 60 lbs., I recommend you have the shipper double box the package.
I always double box my audio equipment to ensure it arrives in one piece. This is the best insurance there is to ensure safe arrival. And, sometimes I even triple box depending on the size, weigh and value.
