i think a few zip ties will be more than fine. make sure they are snug and put some so the extruder cant move about either.and move your bed all the way to the bottom. you should be set after that.

i still have the box mine came in.

I would seriously consider removing the extruder and packing it in the bottom. Remove the weight and you eliminate that possibility of bent rods. When I got mine new the whole thing was broke off the carriage and banging around in the printer and left some pretty big dings in my bed. I would wrap it up well and squish it under the bed and then come up with a way to make sure the bed can't move.

Hey guys, I leave from Japan to head to Alaska soon and my stuff is getting packed up to (hopefully) meet me there. I don't trust the movers and I would like to ensure that my printer rods aren't bent to sh!t when I am reunited with it. I was thinking with a few zip ties to attach the head to the chassis? Any input would be great :-)
