That is a very nice, healthy looking Claude Schride!
Actually, I think Eugene Fox's idea of moving a lily 'right after blooming' from garden to garden or to neighbor works for most common commercial lilies--as long as the plant is moved in a large clump with the roots undisturbed as much as possible. 'Right after blooming' is kind of a key phrase there.
As far a shipping live lily plants, I have both shipped and received bare root live lily plants in thick cylinderical cardboard shipping tubes. Plants are dug, bulbs washed and dried saving all roots, then dusted with captan, etc. Then bulb and roots are placed in a food vegitable storage bag and then filled with dry perlite. Close with a rubber band. The tops are bent to fit the tube which will result in a kink which later can be cut off or taped back up with a splint.. Wrap the entire plant loosely with newspaper, seal and ship first class with proper labeling (live plant, etc) So it can and is done--but as you say, the bulbs will survive but will result in much smaller growth the next year. I would only recommend it to lily hobbyists.
