But seriously, advice so far is good. Lots of padding, don't check. That should work fine.
Hey, I didn't say checked luggage was treated well! :-)
I've received UPS/FedEx packages that were trashed just as badly as any checked luggage I've seen.
At $42 each, I'd just throw them in a suitcase, unless I happened to have spare carry-on space easily available.
