I just crossed exactly the same bridge. I wound up with mail order from WWBW (and exchanged it a month later (the tuba simply didn't fit me) as I happened to be able to arrange to drive past them on a business trip; nice folks and no problem. You can talk to the tuba guys (Roger and Jack) on the phone and get pretty frank advice. Groth music down in Bloomington claims, on their web site, to carry the Jupiter tubas and shows competitive prices. If you can't make the 8 hours each way drive (one long day there and back.....)to WWBW then I'd think you're well advised to get it from the local store and let them diddle with the potentially painful woes of damage in shipment. There are a lot more fish (tuba's) than just the Jupiter in the metaphorical sea though....
