I always save the original packaging

Yeah I usually keep the original packaging as well but bought these used so I have to find/make something to ship them in.

Take a pool noodle, cut it in half, and run it around the mounting ring, putting the ring inside the noodle.

Foam/packing peanuts work great with motors.

I'd try seeing how much it would cost to ship the 3 boxes individually or as like one big stacked box. Freight is definitely going to be the way to go. Those air packaging things are nicer than peanuts because they don't add to the already have weight.

Take one in with you in to fed ex or ups, wherever and let them tell you. Last time I used fed ex for a horse saddle I think they didn't charge me or its was stupid cheap for packaging. Make sure, as I'm sure you will buy insure them babies!
