Shipping 80lb amps.

Use a freight company, palletize and strap the amps onto the pallet then shrink wrap over it so nothing can be placed on top of it.  Fragile stickers can also help.  Most importantly double box the amps.

Good luck!

With over 40 years experience in small package and ltl (freight) heavy items shipped UPS, FedEx will be dropped, slid, and generally mis-handled

 Freight shipments will be handled with a forklift and can have other items stacked on top. It is all about making everything fit. Loading stickers are basically useless other than helping your claim. Take pictures before shipping, document worth of item, insure, and overpack item. Wooden crate on pallet is best.

I will also add one suggestion as a shipper.  Skip insurance.  If you ever have to make a claim, you'll be making $2/hour for all the time you spend on it, not to mention frustration.

Instead box it so they CAN'T break it.

There are at least three different entities involved here and you need to understand the rules of all of them! Basically, it's your amp UNTIL the customer gets it and is happy. Yes, happy. It can arrive at their door in perfect condition and if they choose to refuse it, the return charges are on you. If it's damaged and the buyer refuses it, you could get it back and be compensated .19 cents per pound! (This happened to me). If you're using Paypal, they almost always side with the buyer in a dispute. Understanding ALL the rules will save you some grieve. Like many said above, over pack it. Good luck. Joe

I don't know if it's been mentioned already above, but there's a good chance you'll get hit with US Customs duties, unless you pre-arranged that with the shipper.
