Pack for worst case scenario. And yeah, UPS is worst case scenario ;-)

FWIW I would pack the MOTM modules individually, not racked. I fly my
modules across the ocean about twice a month, and I learned very quickly
that the boards which stick out in back will wobble during transit, and
result in bad contacts etc. Going to a local gig would be fine, but moving
cross-country in the back of a moving truck is some hardcore
vibration/shock.

I don't think this is off-topic... At least, the MOTM modules are on
topic... :-)
