Several months ago I had to ship a large photograph that was framed. I told the buyer I did not want to send it with the glass. I removed the pane, and from a roll of mylar I have I cut a piece the exact size of the glass. The photo was entirely protected, and with no fear of breakage. I do think that shipping glass is a very dangerous prospect, even if the box is well packed. If you win the letter you might ask REA to remove it from the frame before shipping it, assuming you don't want it at all.
