I would think a long tube, like the ones used to ship posters or prints, would give you the rigidity needed to safely ship the moldings. fill with styrofoam "peanuts" and slide the moldings in. Cost shouldn't more then 9 or 10 bucks to ship.

PVC tube- 4" thin wall tubing couple of end caps good to go. No damages during shipping.

If you have a golf shop near you, they have elongated boxes they ship clubs in & should fit the BSM's, padding is still a priority though.
