Of course, the internal parts of most TV sets don't take a liking to high G forces; however, I've recently shipped some communication equipment through UPS (arrgh!) using a wooden crate from ULINE.

One tough box. Plywood locked together with metal straps. Not cheap either. What you do is place a item on thick foam pads, say 6 to 8 inches all around and then wrap the crate with card board. No need for this end up or fragile stickers - that only attracts attention to the would be football players. UPS thinks it's just an ordinary box until..they try to lift. I recently had 2 crates delivered each weighed 135 lbs and basically could barely be lifted by the delivery guy. I could tell that no one was going to pick up and risk dropping on their toes. The corner of one box looked like it had been dropped but once I peeled off the cardboard, the 1/4 inch plywood sides are so strong, it took the abuse. The contents were perfect.
