I've sold my TB45 engine to someone in WA and need to get it ready to take to a freight depot so, although it seems pretty straightforward, I was after tips on best practice or things not to do.

When I bought my TD42 engine, it was held onto the pallet with several strands of tie-wire, the stuff you use for tying concrete reinforcing iron. Then it was wrapped in a kind of black "Glad-wrap" plastic presumably to protect it from the weather.
I'll check Bunnings to see if they have that stuff.

Any first-hand experiences on sending or receiving a freighted engine?

Cheers!
