Use a box that is approximately 50 percent larger in all directions than the unit itself. Pack it WELL!!! Then double box it with packing in between the boxes. Just then you think you can out fox the goons that work for the shippers, they will prove you wrong.

I DO NOT ship them. They bring them to me and pick them up in person. Or I do not work on them.
