spend some time and a few bucks and do the following:
(1) Play it safe and use air shipping. It may cost some serious bank, but your items will be a lot safer in the air, then going ground. I recently moved from CA to FL and thought I would save a few buck and use !#*-Ex Ground. Needless to say my **** was pretty busted when I got. My records where cool, but my turns (which were shipped in OEM packaging and wrapped with a grip of bubble wrap were not. One of the plastic cases (yeah, I still have the cases) was busted to ****. I swear, it's like someone jumped on it. Then, when you want to file a claim...man, it's the runaround. I got fed up and just dropped it...I just wont use them again.
(2) You may want to inventory your wax and catalog what is in each box (possible pain in the ***). But it just may save you some headaches if you never receive one of your boxes. I packed my wax may 3/4 of the way full and then put t-shirts and newspaper on the sides and top.
One more thing, when packing things to ship, tape is your best friend so don't be stingy. Tape, tape, tape, like it's going out of style (hehe, damn I sound like my folks). And don't forget to insure all your boxes.
Good luck
Peace
