I do the same thing here in Washington state.  I'm surprised you found shipping for $27, i looked into it and after finding a box, packing materials and actual shipping cost it would be cheaper to send them to TSW or Hammer.  I'm happy to share my experience with you as well.  Rebuilding the shocks is fairly easy, however getting them apart can be a challenge as well as refinishing them.  Some perches are a bear to get off if you want to really refinish them.  Also, i've spent hours (cumulatively) heating up the bleed screws with a torch to get them out so i don't need to buy a new cap.  Also, if the shaft bushing is damaged, you'll have a hell of a time getting that out.  Those are just a few of the issues i've had and there are more.  I enjoy the challenge and i get to meet a lot of cool raptor owners and i'm not doing it to make a living so the few sets i do is worth a little extra cash for me, just be aware it will be more work than the youtube videos show.
