Answer 1

ups/fedex store.

Answer 2

Go to a shop that sells things like what you are shipping -- art work, glassware or dishware, an antique doll -- and ask what they would charge to pack and ship it for you. Chances are the cost will not be excessive (no more than $5 to $10 if the object is not large), and you will have peace of mind about its safe delivery. If possible, also watch them pack it, so you can do it yourself the next time.

All you really need, if it's just shipping and not also storing, is bubble wrap and a box large enough to put plenty of wrapping on the object. If the object is hollow, such as a vase or other container, be sure to put stuffing inside, to equalize the pressure of the wrapping outside. If there are separate parts that might scrape against each other if jarred, it may be worth it to partially dis-assemble the object and wrap each piece in bubble wrap. If that is not practical, try to wrap it so as to immobilize the part that might scrape or chip. Use several layers of bubble wrap around the outside of the object, and tuck wrap or those Styrofoam chips into the corners of the box. Then tape the box securely, including putting clear tape over the address label so it can't be separated, and you are good to go.

Answer 3

You should first box it and buy bubble rap or anything that will help cushion it. Then take it either to fex ex (recommend) or UPS. Make sure you tell them that it is fragile, then they will mark it fragile.
