QUOTE: For added protection you may even put the first box inside a slightly larger box and cushion that with styrofoam peanuts, too. Then the first layer of peanuts would absorb some of the shipping shocks before they even get to the second box. |

Exactly!
I run the Shipping Department, where I work, the above is probably the way to go. Before putting it in the inner box, Wrap it loosely in bubble wrap (don't tape or band the wrap) Place in the box and use packing peanuts.
I would also send it the quickest way feasable for you. I would go with Priority Overnight, to prevent it from riding inside a truck for days
(sending across country, via ground, can take from 5-7 days. It depends on the end point)
