How to pack carseats/boosters for shipping if you don't have the original boxes?

** I'm not sure where this question belongs, so Admin. please move it if there is a more appropriate location.**

I am considering possibly selling some carseats/boosters this summer, but I don't have the original boxes since these seats have been in constant use since they were purchased. Is my only choice to sell locally, or does UPS, FEDEX, USPS have a way to package seats in such a way that will protect them adequately during shipping? What steps would you take to minimize the risk of damage to seats during shipping? Thanks for any info :)!

I sold and shipped a Marathon once, and I didn't have the original box. I posted on Craigslist looking for one and found one. I have also used regular shipping boxes and padded the seat with a spare cover. The trick is to cut the box down to the exact dimensions you need so the car seat won't move around and then use lots of tape ;).
