@elfi The UPS store usually has the capabilities needed to properly package a CRT -- basically, line the crate bottom with a big plastic bag, shoot some liquid foam into the bag, fold it over and put the CRT on it as it expands, then do the same on the four sides, then the top, then seal the crate, then put metal strapping around it, securing it to a wooden bottom plate of the appropriate size.

As I said, a nightmare to ship.
