A while back I bought a JP case and now that I've sold the guitar I need to ship it. When the case came to me it was in a form fitting box surrounded by a little packing paper and a larger box. It was great for an empty case but is that how they ship their guitars too?

Yup - the case protects the guitar, the box protects the case - works well!

Just get a "standard size" shipping box. What with the MM case being smaller, you'll be able to add a bit more padding!
Stop by a local guitar shop and ask if they have any boxes laying around. The store nearest to me always helped out at no cost. I found that other manufacturers have slightly larger cardboard boxes which allow for some additional filler/padding between the HSC and the outer box. That cardboard box MM uses will not protect the HSC if UPS decides to fun a forklift into it
