I got this 50 lb antique limiter in for service recently, and was pleased to see a well packed box for a change. Actually, this should be considered minimum standard. If you can't get it at least this good, don't play. Just go smash it in the yard and save yourself the postage. Heavy hard foam, voids filled with bubble wrap, including the inside of the unit. Even better, double box and have solid heavy foam between boxes.
