just wrap it in bubblewrap and place it in a box with about 2" worth of space or more around the mug. fill the box with foam peanuts or crumbled newspaper all around the mug. (lay down a shallow bed of peanuts or paper first then place the mug on top of it). Do not over crumple the paper. the trick is to crumble loosely, this is what gives the paper "give" and helps protect your item. if you crumble the paper too tightly, you might as well tie a brick to your mug.

finally, close up the box and give it a shake or 2 (i'm not kidding). If you can still hear the mug moving, it's not packed well enough. if you shake the box and don't hear the item moving around at all, you're good to go and the item will arrive unharmed no matter how many post office gorrillas toss it around.

good luck.
