I have shipped my quilts by wrapping them in a big plastic garbage bag. Always put a label inside with the quilt with your name, address and phone number in case the box is damaged in shipping. Make sure it is a sturdy box. Be generous with the packing tape sealing it very well. I insure them and get a tracking number. I also take a picture of the sealed box at the post office...just in case. DO NOT WRITE QUILT ON THE OUTSIDE. I also ask for a signature when delivered. It is more expensive to ship that way but well worth it. Insure the quilt for what you think it would take to replace it. I have shipped several quilts and they have always arrived safe and sound but I still worry. I have shipped UPS, USPS and Fed EX and had no problems.
