I've also had good luck with a single box (double corrugated material) if I
cut two pieces of 1/4 to 3/8 inch plywood to just fit inside the box; insert
the first piece into the bottom of the box, wrap the receiver in bubble wrap
or whatever, cut the dense foam padding and insert all around for a tight
fit, and lay the second piece of plywood on top before sealing.  The plywood
is great at preventing corner damage for those boxes that "fall off" the
conveyor.

BTW, FedEx Ground has not damaged anything since I switched to them a few
years ago.
