best way or cheapest way? personally for anything big like that i take it to the ups store and pay them to package it and ship it out, i do it like that so if anything gets broken/damaged they are held 100% liable because they packaged it and can not blame it on poor packaging always remember to insure it for full value also ---

wrap it in a moving blanket and ratchet strap it to a heavy duty pallet and build a 2x4 crate over the top and staple some cardboard around the cube you’ve built. two people could lift and pitch it into a truck no problem so no loading dock is needed. well… Fred, you’re huge, you could huck it like a news paper boy so that’s a non issue. ---

I’ve also heard of packaging up motors in cushioned rubbermaid containers.
