I ordered a Zildjian 21" Z Custom Mega Bell Ride off Reverb last month and it was packed HORRIBLY, I've bought cymbals off eBay, Guitar Center Used, Reverb, etc and this is by far the worst cymbal packing job I've ever seen!
The box was 23 x 23 x 6 so the cymbal has all kinds of room to move around, there was ONE small piece of styrofoam in the box and the cymbal was in a plastic cymbal bag/sleeve.
Luckily it's a heavy duty cymbal and it didn't get damaged in shipping as far as I can tell.
If you're going to package a cymbal for shipping use bubble wrap or SOMETHING to protect it and prevent it from moving around inside the box during transit, get a sturdy box to ship it in don't use a pizza box or bass drum head box.
