So recently was gifted a batch of new parts on the condition that I send my old parts to another friend of ours.

The new parts were pretty much hand delivered to me with the CPU + HeatSink + Ram all together.

I currently have my stuff pulled out but am debating how to send this to my friend (who is not in a position to pick it up or for me to drop it off).

I may have the original mobo box in which case i can pull out the heatsink and clean the CPU put those into that and asend the heatsink wrapped. In case I don't have the mobo box, any suggestions to ensure the parts reach their destination safe and sound?
 
Armored car plus several other dummy armored cars with a police motorcade to escort it?

Some of the flat rate priority mail boxes are about motherboard sized. Get one for the mobo and put it in a bigger box with foam/bubble wrap around the smaller box? They were fine getting shipped from China to the US that way. I'd leave the CPU in the socket on the motherboard.

Pack the stuff in a container and use a couple zillion nitroglycerin pills to pad everything.

Make sure to coat it in a fine white powder (kinda like ricin).

Then make sure to write "Will go *BOOM* if not opened by #Insert Random Date/Time#" and "Nuclear Ordnance" on it.
 
Anti-static bags for CPU, RAM, and Motherboard, all packaged separately. Lots of bubble wrap around the items themselves and packing peanuts to make sure everything is snug with little wiggle room. Make sure that the heatsink is properly padded as to not damaged anything else. Seal with C4 and tie it all together with det-cord.

Label "explosive goodness inside" and profit
