Sorry to be a negative nellie, but my advice about shipping cakes, especially multi-tiered ones, is "don't". It's hard enough to get a complicated cake from one side of the city to the other in my car with non-skid mats under it. If it's more than two tiers, I don't even finish assembling it until I get to the venue. I wouldn't even attempt to ship a cake in a box that will in all probability be thrown around and slammed in with a bunch of other boxes. Maybe there's a more intrepid spirit here with some better ideas than I have?
I would love to know if there is a way to ship a cake also... I have a son in the Marine Corps that has been away from home over a year and would love to get a cake to share with him buddies.... Cookies and brownies are nice but I would love to create something fun, and have there be a hope and a prayer that it get to him in one piece.
