Depending on the tools/parts/supplies to be shipped, just package them appropriately to ensure that they are not damaged and will arrive safely. The packing crates from the FIRST Kit Of Parts (most teams seem to have ten or fifteen of these things lying around their shops) make great reusable shipping containers, and they can hold a lot of tools/parts/supplies. Just fill 'em up, wire tie them closed, slap a shipping label on the outside, and you are all set.
Due to the size of the load and and number of creates involved, we ended up driving our load down to Gulfport, MS. But I do not recommend this solution unless you are really desperate for a road trip. A 2388 mile round trip in 45 hours is a lot of driving, and it requires a VERY substantial supply of caffeine!
