Mike, you always go the extra mile in whatever you do.

I find it amazing that most people don't know how to pack stuff for shipping
I was a shipping manager for a computer company many years ago & I can offer
some tips:

1. Do not use newspaper,It does not absorb the shock of impact!
2. Do use bubble wrap or packing peanuts (The peanuts being the better choice)
3. Double box your item.
   3 Tape the sides as well as the folds in the box.

So the very best way to ship is place your item in a box big enough to fill with packing peanuts
then place in a larger box and surround with more packing peanuts, Tape the seams & sides with shipping tape.
Mark "Fragile" and ship it, UPS is not my first choice of shippers as they destroyed many computers
in my time as a shipping manager!
