I've shipped 7 decklids over the years and the #1 concern is dogearing the corners. Don't think for a moment someone at UPS or FedEx won't take your box and thrust a corner down into a concrete floor, just for fun. Of the 7, the first 2 were dog-eared. They were both very well packed, I've been parting cars for years and think of myself as a good packer.

Now I ship these as box in a box only by taking sheet cardboard or 2 very large boxes and making an envelope for the lid, sometime reinforcing the corners with extra cardboard. This then goes into a bigger box with padding between the envelope and the box. 20 extra minutes for total peace of mind is worth it.

Uhaul has good mirror boxes.
