For the record, I've had very good experiences shipping my Mac II through
UPS.  I've done it twice, cross-country, and both times I've retrieved
my computer in perfect working order. I took two precautions:

1) I've kept all the original packaging, and shipped the computer in it.
This seemed to please the UPS people.

2) I insured it for its full value. This ended up costing about $25 more,
but the UPS person told me whenever an item is insured for more than a 
certain amount ($1000 or so) it receives special treatment. Exactly what
this treatment is, I forget, but I've had no problems shipping my Mac
via UPS.
