Best Way To Ship A Turntable?

So I have to mail a turntable of mine through the post, and I was just wondering if anyone had any tips on how to ship it to ensure its safe traveling. I do own a flight case, but it would make the package rather large and heavy, thus having a rather large shipping cost. Would it be better to ship it without the case, and just put in a lot of protective packaging?
Any recommendation as to USPS, UPS, FedEX ect.?
Thank you in advance. |

I have sold a few on ebay , and had no problems with them getting to their destination un-harmed through UPS. First thing to do is don't ship with the weight on the tonearm, Some ass shipped me one and it came broken with a piece of the tonearm still in it, take it off and wrap it up.
Packing wise, I wrapped it several times in bubble wrap, then surrounded with packing paper and shipping popcorn. If it has a dust cover, make sure you put some shipping paper or cut up a paper towel tube and stick it inside the cover between the platter and dust cover. This way any pressure on the top will not crack it. |

What? The second reply was exactly the type of answer he was looking for, from someone who has had experience doing it. |
