Digital BW, The Print

I've had pretty good success using UPS for shipping
large framed prints.  Definitely use plexi instead of
glass and pay special attention to the corners of the
frame, this is where most damage occurs.  I usually go
to MailBoxes Etc and have them wrap it up and specify
to pack it in something that will be able to be used
on the return trip(if needed).  They mainly use a box
somewhat larger than the frame and wrap the frame in
large bubble-wrap w/ extra padding in the corners.  
 I would do it myself more often, but I usually wait
'till the last second and have to end up shipping it
over-night.  Which, by the way, can be extremely
expensive.  If you have the time, ship regular
ground.. it will reduce your shipping costs
dramatically.

 good luck,
