If you're shipping within the UK can't see this ebing too much of a problem. Bear in mind if a framed piece that any pressue on the glass will break, so you need to cover with cardboard completely. done this several times so is pretty safe way to ship if wrapped up withlove and care

If you want to be extra anal about it, you could tie it in a large plastic bage first too, just in case it gets dropped in a freak typhoon and soaked through.

Or find a packing company, they'll cut a cardboard box to size for you for about the same.

Its perfect because it's very strong and very light. You find it in every building supplies store You can easy cut it with a knife. After that you can also do layer bubble wrap.
