How to pack rega planar 3 for safe shipping

I need a help. I might be getting a Rega Planar 3 turntable from a novice on turntable. I am not far from novice either.
A knowledgealbe audiophile would remove the platter, the cover and tonearm, and separately pack them in a box. Also, there may be a screw at the bottom to tighten up for secure shipping. Is there step by step instructions with figures to safely pack Rega Planar 3?
My previous two turntables packed by novice arrived with damaged cartridges/stylus and broken hinges/cover. I want to make sure it would not happen again this time.

Thanks for your comment and the link. Certainly it would help a lot.

Thanks Piedpiper. No, the guy does not have an original box. Basically I need to instruct the guy how to pack, but I don't know much about Rega Planar 3 either.
I think the instruction given is detailed enough to follow for most novices. Thanks again.
