At the very least you'll get a chuckle out of the note I included with it, most likely you'll get a very useful (if heavy!) item along with a chuckle or two.
As much as we all know you enjoy sweeping up mountains of foam packing peanuts from inexperienced eBay shippers, they just wouldn't have cut the mustard for this one. I had to put a dash of "outside-the-box" style thinking inside the box. The important bits of the item itself are quite hard to damage in shipping, even for the creative mishandlers of the USPS. It barely fit in one dimension of the box, so I didn't bother trying to wrap it in a hundred feet of bubble-wrap or screw it to a piece of pine. I was more concerned with the overall structural integrity.
For your convenience everything inside the box is already "YouTube-safe." (No names/addresses/criminal confessions/trade-secrets/export-restricted technology/etc...)
