I ship my bourbon barrel aged maple syrup in glass, never had any get broken. I ship them in medium or large flat rate boxes and pack them well using foam peanuts for orders that can fit in those sizes. When I ship full cases I ship in a 20x16x14 double wall outer box and the case of either 24 bottles of 200ml or 12 bottles of 375ml is packed inside, fully protected with foam peanuts. In general those are my only glass I ship. The rest are packed in plastic.
In all cases the buyer pays the shipping. I buy my glass from Burch Bottle and have them ship it. They pack the glass in large master cases with all of the foam peanuts I ever need. I used to buy bubble wrap pouches for the bottles and then bought bubble wrap rolls, but I had 2 get broken doing that, so far no broken ones using the foam peanuts. I pack so the bottles are tight, not able to shift around in the box.

Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
