Crate it.

This website uses much more expensive wood than you really need, although
you probably won't find unplaned rough crating stock at one of the big box stores. You can reuse old crate and pallet wood, though.

Of course, I suppose I could try the UPS Store nearby, have them give me
an estimate for their wrapping and packing.....

Thank you in advance, Bill
Only other option I came across was finding a double walled cardboard
box large enough, then meticulously bubble wrapping it a couple of
inches on all sides, then fill the space between the amp and box with generous amounts of crumpled craft paper, but even that's going to use
up a lot of $ just to get it ready!

** The Deluxe 85 is a small amp - as guitar amps go.
Transistor with 1 x 12 inch speaker, weighs just 32 pounds.
A sturdy cardboard box with *plenty* of newspaper and/ or polystyrene packing would be fine.
The risk with such amps is if it is dropped hard, the magnet assembly could detach from the frame of the speaker.

First, take it apart. Box each piece separately.

Absolutely.
Just carton it up and send it, like the way it came. Or get a slightly
bigger carton (or corrugated cardboard wrap) and line it with packing
(EPS, bubble, foam, whatever), or simply double-wrap it in corri-cardboard.
It's hardly rocket surgery !

Ship a lot of amps, Geoff? It's four screws in most cases to remove the electronics.
UPS and the like now seem to have "package destruction specialists" on
staff. Figure on tolerating a four to six foot drop.
If you have the staff to design a package as the amp manufacturers do,
do it your way. Otherwise...

Yeah but why.

The stop at the bottom would likely rearrange the tube internals to some degree however packed !

Yep, have shipped (to me) that would make an '85 like childs-play:
- VOXAC30
- Fender Twin Reverb
- Roland JC120
- Peavey Classic 50
.... amongst others. Each in either a single-layer non-original carton,
with and without a layer or two of bubble-wrap, and one just in a wrap
of corrugated cardboard. No issues.
Also regularly ship out repaired items up to similar size/weight,
usually in used cartons with bubble wrap or recycled poly packing.
