How to pack and ship sterling silver flatware

[joyceann1149]

Could someone with expertise advise me on what the best way to pack and ship sterling silver would be?  I want to sell my Mom's set of Towle Silver Flutes flatware.  Most of the pieces still have the original wrap, however many have one end cut off so they could look at the piece.  I am quite sure it was never used.  My Mom passed it along to me before she passed and I have no use for it and so intend to sell.  However, I want to make sure that I properly package it for shipping.

The individual pieces are sleeved with plastic and/or wrapped with tissue paper. Rubber bands can't harm plastic or paper.

Personally, I keep a ball of yarn handy to tie up small bundles.
