Blue (not tan) 2 1/2" thick hard foam insulation from Moscow Building 
Supply here in Moscow, Idaho, then a custom fitted crate built of 3/4" 
plywood. I use glue and deck screws for bottom and three sides, then, 
double the deck screws on the "front" and "top".  Then cut hand-holds 
so that it is most likely going to be picked up only one way.

Haven't lost one yet. I've shipped SRR-11s, SRR-13s, R-390s, RALs 
and RAKs this way.

I charge the person to whom I am shipping it an extra $35.00, 
refundable on the return of the crate. So far, I haven't lost any...

Ya pays yer money and ya takes yer choice.
