Here's how the pros (Tiki Farm and Munktiki) do it: Wrap the mug in corrogated cardboard or put in a corrogated carboard box that is a snug, but not tight, fit. Then surround that with lots of foam packing peanuts(preferably the biodegradable kind). There should be at least 2.0-2.5 inches of packing peanuts between all sides of the external box and the carboard wrap or box inside. If you don't have a snug-fitting box or cardboard to wrap the mug in, two layers of the large bubble wrap, or 3-4 layers of the smaller bubble wrap should do the trick. And please purchase shipping insurance, just in case!
