The trick to protecting fragile items in transit is to make sure that they can’t slide around in their boxes. To do this, stuff glasses and other hollow items with newspaper, then wrap them in bubble wrap. Pack them carefully into the box, and then fill any empty corners with packing peanuts or newspaper until the items can no longer move when you (gently) shake the box. Don’t forget to label it as "fragile"!
