I just sent mine off last week with only the bottom half of the rf shield. I was told by Steve at Retro passion to use paper and then bubble wrap. My fear of static killing stuff is legit but he said it's rare that it happens. Every piece of packing I used I made sure it touched something earthed to take any charge it may have off it just as a precaution.
Using your shield entirely probably will not need antistatic material.
