Shipping a frameset, tips?
I have a couple framesets I'm selling on Ebay and will obviously need to ship these. I got a couple bike boxes from the LBS, both framesets are wrapped in some thin styrofoam like sheets I get at work and the dropouts have the spacers in them. Should I fill with packing peanuts? Any other tips? Thanks.

Fill with bubblewrap, get it tight and nice. Haven't shipped any myself but 2 frames and 1 bike have shown up like that and in very good condition.

Use an old box to make cardboard strips as wide as your bike box and 1-2 feet long. Roll or fold them up to make crush spacers. Tape them in place in the middle of the box.
