I wouldn't bother with a shock watch either. I've never had a bike damaged in shipping but I've read about some that have. Usually, they are either 1) very poorly packed or 2) completely crushed or damaged by a fork lift tine penetrating the box, etc. There is a thread in the classic and vintage about how to ship a bike. Follow the instructions there and you should be fine. I've used UPS, FedEx and USPS. I prefer FedEx but the size limits are different so if you have a big box you might need to shop around to get the best price. Insurance is a better idea than a shock watch and will probably do more to get your bike careful attention but really, once it's in the shippers hands, you just have to hope for the best.
