Most of my machines that I have acquired I've prepared, loaded, secured and transported myself. Experience tells me what to expect from a vibration standpoint. On a good day, content disruption is minimal. If a third party is involved i.e. a shipping company, they are just doing their job without regard to value unless it's something like Fed Ex Custom Critical. So any possible (within reason) preparation is necessary before handing it over to a shipper.

The shipment would go out at least a month ahead of time so as to inspect content on the destination end and plan a contingency of repairs if the machine looked stressed or outright damaged.
