Very interesting Steven. As far as shipping something with no danger of
damaging it, maybe from The Starship Enterprise by transporter beam! In
1969 we started doing long baseline interferometry which involved recording
radio telescope observations from three different radio observatories
around the world on 2 inch video tape. Once the observing process was
completed the tapes were all shipped to Ottawa for computer processing.
Recorded on the tapes was also a timing track consisting of pulses from a
caesium standard. So along with the tapes, the caesium clocks had to also
be shipped so they could all be synchronized. The only way we could make
sure they wouldn’t be damaged in transit was to buy two airline tickets.
There was one for the technician, and the other was for the clock. They had
to be in first class as the clock was too wide for coach seats. It did turn
some heads of the other passengers to see this huge case in the seat, with
lights blinking and radiation warning stickers plastered all over it. Those
were the good old days.

I don't know that there is any 100% certain way of shipping something so it
is not subject to damage. A good example of an extreme is a shipping
container I saw for the Abort Guidance Sensor from the Lunar Module. The
museum got it from NASA and they showed me the container it came in. This
thing is about 15 x 12 x 6 inches and it is bolted to a shipping frame to
hold it vertical. There's a temperature control system to hold the
temperature during shipping. That is in an inner container that's about 3 x
2 x 1.5 feet. The outer container is about the size of a 10-foot freight
container. However, it is made like a giant Halliburton aluminum case - all
painted blue with large NASA logos on it and a control panel behind a
lockable panel for the temperature control. I think a "tiny house" could be
made out of it.

It is interesting to know that the Global Shipping has not fixed these
problems. When this happened to Somme items I purchased I notified the
seller and requested a refund. If they did not offer at least something, I
put in a PayPal claim I hope you would do something similar.
