I have a shipping container that is ex military. Probably molded
fiberglass, detachable top, lots of foam rubber, sealing valves,  such
that I really think one could put in a 390 and drop it 6' with no
damage. It's big folks... 31x22x27 but it should safely ship a 390 or
sp600 etc.  It has handles on the ends for lifting.  I have $50 in it 
and will sell it for that picked up.  Now the bad news about it's size:

However..... for those of you who think that's a good deal, remember
dimensional weight for ups.  This probably weighs 25 lbs empty but.....
UPS will charge for 95 lbs because of dimensional weight regardless of
the fact that it only weights 25lbs.  So,to ship a 390 in this, you will 
be charged for about 120lbs, but the first 95 is no charge because you 
have to pay for 95 lbs anyway! Not exactly, but the problem is the 
return trip empty when you get charged for 95 lbs and it only weighs 25 lbs.
