I believe their supposition that couriers are useless bastards who will drop unpackaged tubes is likely to be correct.

A big box and lots of foam packaging.

Hmmm.... So why can't you do that to send it? I'm sure you could get it insured for a reasonable amount.

Also have you thought of asking [livejournal.com profile] battlekitty/Aden whether they have any spare monitors they want to get rid of?

Because I don't have a big box, let alone the liquid setting foam equipment. I could scrounge up boxes and chunks of solid foam from computer shops if any of them sold monitors anymore.

Bubblewrap.

Lots of bubblewrap.

It's possibly to mostly courier-proof packages, but I can see why they wouldn't want to expect customers to have the packaging materials or the know-how to do it.

Also, on the return trip they'll have reliable record of the unit's condition to beat the courier's insurer with.

Also, would something like http://www.taxi-vans.com/ be worth investigating?
