^^^Like said above, I would also have air injected into the bags for shipping. If what you are shipping wont fill up the styrofoam box, then pack it with the peanuts.

You can get the bags the styrofoam box etc at your LFS. They throw out the styro boxes everyday, they should give one or two to you.
