Jason,

I've mailed out a lot of 13" toroids over the last few years.  None of them
got dented despite mad-dog postmen.  The secret is to allow at least
1 or 2 inches of space all around the toroid, and to use a heavy duty
box, or double box, etc with suitable packing material.  I've mailed a
few to the UK, those arrived OK also.  I've given up the toroid
manufacturing however.
