I shipped one once. I started with a corrugated cardboard box that a metal 3-drawer tool box came in. Then I basically built a corrugated cardboard box around the rest that would fit into the box. I used reinforced packing tape to hold things together while I built it up. It made the trip fine.

I built a wooden box to ship mine. Sides, bottom and top were all screwed together. The rest was bolted to the bottom with through bolts, fender washers and locking nuts. Two short lengths of 2X4 screwed to the bottom for easy handling and to keep the bolt heads holding the rest off the floor. All the accessories (handle, leg screws, etc) went in a cardboard box and the whole thing was packed tightly with shipping materials. It went out FedEx and returned via UPS....no issues.
A Sinclair Competition rest that just got here was in a heavy cardboard box from Home Depot with a wooden bottom inside. Everything was disassembled and individually wrapped in foam packing. Strapping tape around the box. It came UPS and was very reasonable to ship.
Hope this helps. -Al
