Everything I post is glass / delicate.
Most of my smaller suncatchers go into plastic boxes with lids (eer microwave / takeaway type but obviously new and not ex-curry 
) so nice and rigid …
but even so I smother the glass in bubble wrap inside the box and the box then goes into a padded envelope.
My bigger pieces don’t have boxes but see-through wallets and I use compressed foam wrap for these inside the wallet and then big bubble wrap round the wallet. Then lots of brown parcel tape, then a piece of card either side then more brown parcel tape - tape has very good bounce properties . That goes into a padded envelope.
I frequently drop my parcels at the post office and never bat an eyelid.
The idea is to make them ‘sorting office football game’ proof.
I NEVER mark them as fragile on the recommendation of my postie - as those are the ones selected for the football games !
Hope this helps - bubble wrap, brown tape, cardboard are my best friends.
