Something like that is best strapped to a piece of 2x4. Newspaper doesn't work as well as bubble wrap but should have been sufficient. Of course size of box increases price of shipping but more protective packaging can be used.
It really makes one believe that when they see "fragile" tape they respond by using the package as a football. I can't recall the exact height a package is supposed to withstand without damaging contents, USPS I recall is a 10 foot height. I remember it was impossible to find Canada Post criteria. All carriers insurance is useless except when a package is lost and even then.
