	The Fair Radio crushed newspaper works as long as you make sure there is no movement of the victim/packaged item. I've used that method for BoatAnchors but always double box w/crushed paper etc. between the boxes. The discarded corner 'pucks' from Cisco and Marconi devices work too with scrounged up BubbL Wrap and foam. Again, the key is no internal movement. As for shippers...If the package will meet the spec I use the US Postal Service. UPS, Universal Package Smashers, has killed several radios. FEDEX is OK too so far. I'm always on the look out for triple-wall cardboard boxes in 'BA" sizes.
