Some advice from someone with shipping experience - That is me.



One thing I see people do with heavy things is to pack with the styrofoam peanuts. That is a no no. The peanuts are mostly air. When the heavy item starts moving around the peanuts get compressed and suddenly its like there is no packing material. And guess what. UPS, fedex, and etc. will not refund because the item was not packaged properly... and it wasn't. If a wooden crate is not an option, use a heavy cardboard box and only use paper for packaging - and lots of it. Make sure the item cannot move around in the box - pick it up a shake it if physically possible this will let you know if it is packed well. Leave the peanuts for light items
