I believe vettemasters, who makes repo frames, builds and uses a wooden crate. Particle board or plywood sides, then line is with styrofoam and other soft stuff. Its too heavy for a cardboard box.

Thank you Ken. That's kinda what I had in mind.
I also considered those large cardboard tubes they use for pouring cement or larger diameter plastic water pipe.
I'll stick with the wooden crate and styrofoam as you suggested.

How about tackling the disassembly yourself and just ship everything but the glass? Then you'll just pay for the return shipping in the entire assembly. Glassworks makes the crates for shipping.
