If the hood isn't packaged that won't help.

FYI if you don't know someone with a freight account you are going to be paying $300+ to ship that hood.

What I have done in the past is have it shipped (and billed) to the company I was working for, then paid the company the amount. I once had an engine shipped from Las Vegas to PA for $90 doing that. If I had had it shipped on my own it would have been well over $300.
