   Seth...... can't help you with a carrier, but the most secure way of   
   packing is to wrap and tape each item with bubble wrap.   
   Then take a box that is way too big and put a layer of spray foam   
   insulation on the bottom, places the items on it and then fill the box   
   with more spray insulation.   
      
   When received use a utility knife to cut through the insulation.
