You may want to try to get replacement packing materials from your dealer. If you are a regular (not meaning you spend a lot there) but stop in once and a while so that they know you, you might get them for free. When I bought my CS5i's they were demos without the crates. I was going to pick them up myself. Things happened and I had to have them shipped. The dealer called Thiel and they said no problem. The dealer got the crates and I paid $225 to have them air freighted to me via FLS. (Broklyn NY to York PA) Not bad for almost 500 pounds and saved me a day of driving.
