packing and shipping

I have a McIntosh set consisting of 2 MC-30s and a C-20 preamp that I want to sell, I'm concerned about the weight if I have to ship them. What's the best packing and who is the safest shipper? My first post, one of my clients said this site is the BEST for serious audio people, so i figured you guys would know.

Contact McIntosh for packing boxes. Unless they stopped, they will make an original box and sell them to you. They won't be cheap, but it will be the safest way to ship them. The glass faceplate on the C-20 is easily cracked. Also, you will likely have more potential buyers, possibly willing to pay a little more, knowing they will be shipped in original McIntosh boxes. For a shipper, I would probably use FedEx.
