Do look into shipping by bus.
-bus station to bus station
-sending and receiving parties go to the bus stations
- not very expensive
-May not be very fast
-packages are handled by people not massive factories of heartless conveyer belts.
I sent two MITE teletypes in one box successfully. (Maybe 65 pounds)
Find heavy duty cartons or "dish packs" from U-Haul, cut down to size if needed.

?Ups , FedEx. At least in the US. Use heavy card board and at minimum 2
inches of loose padding all round for shock. I have gotten them double
boxes before and a 576 even in a wooden crate the trick is limiting
movement in the box I double boxed a high end computer it made it safely to
California from the east side. But it was not cheap to ship. I have also
been successful crating things and shipping them freight. Plywood and
padding is wonder for protecting the device.

Is there a good service to use to ship scopes? The only boxes I have
available are from Amazon and they are not very sturdy so I wouldn't trust
shipping something heavy and expensive in them.
Thanks,
