How to pack a saddle?

I sold my western saddle. It is 40 pounds by itself.

Anyone use a shipping method that is known to be cheap?

What is the best way to pack the saddle?

The last saddle I sold went UPS,it cost about $30... I wrapped it in bubble wrap, put the stirrups below the saddle and tied them together, then set the whole thing in the box with the horn facing up, making sure all the leather was flat. Sealed it up and sent it. Got the to the new owners in great shape, no issues at all.

Wrap the horn!!!

Thanks!
