Shipping 80lb amps.

Thanks for the suggestions.  Agree on Klaus's packaging.. very average. 

Shipping is by nature the responsibility of the seller.  If the seller wants to insure the package, they enter into an insurance contract.  I highly recommend that buyers stay away from shipping decisions.

I always tell the shipper to take as much time as necessary to ship it safety and to make their own decisions.  If something happens then they can't say "well I did it the way you told me to".  

For a buyer to consider taking any responsibility for a shipment that the seller packages is a fools errand.

I have had very bad experience with UPS.  They literally dropped a speaker at my house which after a long hassle wound up with a $2K payment from them. I would use Fedex.

Use a freight company double boxed and on a pallet as others have recommended. I would shy away from FedEx and wouldn’t even consider UPS. UPS is extremely rough with heavy fragile items and their claims department is thoroughly indifferent and will string you along for months and try to pay you next to nothing. I say this because I know from experience!

Use FedEx and insure accordingly. Carefully double box with extra padding.  No need for a pallet.
