I have had two 21" NeXT monitors shipped from CA to TX in the past few
months. Both were packed professionally by "foam-in-place" method.
Monitor cost was $65.00 each, packing and shipping, $75.00 each. They
are pretty heavy. But both arrived by UPS in one piece. We have a
pretty good driver on my route. What amazes me is, they leave things
insured for 1-2000 dollars on my porch. No signature required.

Nobody wants to spend $10 to $20 on packing materials, especially if the
item is only $20-$100.
My HOWTO was written from the perspective of one who uses exclusively
recycled packaging products (except for the tape of course). Sometimes I
go out and buy bubble wrap but that's rare. I always have a stash of foam
and peanuts and boxes and crap laying around ready for re-use.
Using my suggestions is not only far cheaper, it's environmentally
friendly :)
