Never been asked to sign a waiver while checking in cardboard boxes and computer/monitor shipping boxes many times.

Just use lots of duct/shipping tape along all edges of the boxes for reinforcement. They will probably be opened and you'll find a little TSA love note inside, but they are pretty conscientious about closing them back up well.
