We ship in custom cardboard boxes with tip protectors and a wooden dowel. We also carry and sell the hardshell cases from Chicago case. The ones for the Long Hub Hering propellers sell for $175. Our customers have used these to ship propellers for years. We often put the hard shell cases inside cardboard also.

RunninHot,
I don't care how you package them, when you deal with UPS Fed Ex etc., they will find a way to damage containers! We've been shipping in custom designed heavy duty cardboard crates for years both here and in our previous lives at Mercury Racing. Nothing is perfect but the damage percent has to be in the 1% range and we ship propellers all over the world daily.
Taking care to deleop the best fit is very important. We have done that. Yes, hard cases are the better way to go! We can not supply hard shell cases for every repair or adjustment we do because of obvious reasons. We do love it when customers ship in them though. That is another reason we carry the cases in our product line.
Remember, insure the propellers for their full value whenever shipping them in any container. If damage occurs, take pictures, save the boxes and contact the shipper immediately. If they refuse coverage at first, push it! You will get coverage.
