I have been lucky in that I found some styrofoam shipping boxes that fit perfectly inside a cardboard box. Then I stuffed all the extra space with styrofoam chunks, so far no breakage. I also print full sheet "FRAGILE" signs on hot pink paper and taped them to all sides of the box. If you want, you can use the Patented MadDogMike Shock Detector - Put a dead fish in a glass jar, seal it well and put it in the sun for a week. Pack it with the mug you are shipping and tell the recipient not to accept it if the package smells like dead fish!!! :lol:
