Any advice on cheap way to ship?

Im located in Raleigh, Nc. Great info thanks all

One thing to keep in mind is the density of the box. This will be compact boxes with a higher weight which would end up more apt to being tossed around or dropped. For each hd that I ship no matter how many each is in an anti static bag and bubble wrapped. If a bunch are together, I would advise packing them snugly into a box, then finding a box 1-2" larger to place this box into with some packing peanuts. This creates a crumple zone for when/if the box is dropped or thrown.

That. If you're going to ship them flat rate and the added weight won't matter. I'd put a layer of bubble wrap between each layer if you layer them in the first box, sometimes I seal the first box in a plastic bag for added moisture protection, use peanuts (best) or those air pillows between the inner and outer box.

You should be okay with what the TheDude said too, but double boxing seldom ever fails...I had one customer who bought a collection of ceramic owls that sent me pictures of the outer box (looked like they ran it over with the mail truck)...not one single casualty. Check FedEx rates out too if you have one near you, sometimes they're still cheaper on the heavier stuff.
