Bubble wrap it to death. Put it in an over-sized box with mountains of foam pieces to absorb the shock of handling. Heavy card board box with strapping tape. The kind with the nylon strings in it. Much stronger than clear plastic tape. The Eagle Keeper

Carefully. Very, very carefully.
Why not go to a package and ship company? I believe you can get a guarantee for non-breakage. Or, at the least, make sure it is adequately insured. uwcharliet

Yes, BUBBLE WRAP and tape it well. Send it insured. BOX?
Although you didn’t specify the dimensions, there are two USPS Priority Mail Boxes that should work:
6″ x 38″ long”

6″ x 25″ long:

Yes, you will have to order a minimum of 10, but they are FREE and the post office will deliver them to your doorstep FREE. You won’t find these boxes at most post offices. Sign up for FREE at the USPS website. It will take about a week for delivery. Volusian
