After having seen similar damage I revised the way I now pack amps. It's a lot of work, but seems ok so far...(keeping fingers crossed.)
What I do is remove the tubes, then stuff the entire cavity with bubble wrap. If it's a combo I also stuff bubble wrap everywhere around the speakers and use a piece of heavy cardboard or 3/8" plywood piece to cover any open back areas, giving the bubble wrap nowhere to go.
It's best to remove speakers and pack & ship them separately, isn't it? I got a '55 Deluxe that had a damaged speaker when it arrived. I worked when it was boxed up.
