David,
take all the precautions you take with normal synths. A sturdy wooden
crate is necessary, ATA case inside wooden box is better. The most
important part - some synths have a heavy PSU inside.. make sure the
guy removes it from the case and packs it in a box separately.
Otherwise it's not unlikely the thing will run off and ruin all the
electronics inside. It's happened a few times. Removing the PSU is
*loads* cheaper than fixing the damage it'll make if it breaks loose.
Cheers,
D.
