I know this may be a strange question, but has anyone successfully shipped a bigger amp? I have a a Twin Reverb that may need to be shipped and I have no idea what the best way to ship it would be without the use of a flight case. Thanks.

I have shipped large amps with a bag in a box in a box. The inner box is for cushioning. The second box for armor.
First, remove the tubes. Wrap them in bubble wrap and seal them in their own small box.
Put this box in the back of the amp. Secure it to the speaker frames with string or zip ties
Tape a piece of cardboard across the controls.
Put the amp in a trash bag and tape shut
The first shipping box gets minimum of two inches of styrofoam peanuts on the bottom.
Place the amp on this cushion and surround the amp with 1 inch minimum of peanuts around it.
Cover with a minimum of 1 inch of peanuts.
Close the box and use complete loops of fiberglass strapping tape.
Seal the edges with shipping tape.
The second box gets 3 layers of cardboard or 1/2 inch of styrofoam sheet for crush and puncture protection.
Place the first box inside the second.
Wrap box with complete loops of fiberglass strapping tape.
Seal edges of the box with shipping tape.
Insure all shipments. Good Luck
Cover with layers of cardboard.
