Most of the convenience-type mailing/private box stores will pack (and pick
up) for a fee, usually not too bad. If there's a local Mail Boxes etc. or
the like, have the seller take the parts there and let them quote packing.
They tend to do apretty good job, the package is/can be insured and its no
hassle for the seller. Your local franchise for one of the chains will
even give you the address of another shop and an 800 number to call.
