Wrapped in alot of stuff. I had a preset damaged by the PO

Make sure the threads are protected and that there is some give in the packaging. I usualy wrap it up in bubble wrap in a box (like a shoe box) then in another box surrounded by crumpled news paper. Also if you have the original box (PMI boxes were great) then try and use that.

Oh and i'm sure oyu know but Special delivery is the way forward all the best with running the post office gauntlet.

and remember to de-gas

but as said just stuff that can take a small impact, mabey get a "fragile" sticker but knowing RM they will just kick it for that.

I sent one off in a cardboard tube like the 'pure energy' pre set origional box that it came in (only I made mine out of sum random cardboard i had lying about), then put that into a slightly bigger box full of newspaper to provide some cushion 'n' packed it in 'n' taped the crap out of it

Could have dropped that fecker from a block of flats 'n' it would have been o.k
