Good job on the crating. 
I bought a Baldor 8" bench/pedestal grinder off Boston's Craig's List and paid an extra $100.00 for shipping (it was worth it given the price & condition of the grinder). The seller took it to UPS and they boxed it standing on end with an inadequate amount of bubble pack wrapped around the grinder. Fortunately not too much damage, primarily the bracket for the tool rest. It took some h#ll raising with UPS to pay for the tool rest and I in effect was refunded the shipping charge.
