wrap it in some cushioning and put it in the box, on the bottom of the box, underneath the table
As others have said,
Tie tonearm snugly onto its rest, twist ties do fine
Take the counterweight at the end of the tonearm off and, as with the platter, wrap it in something and put it in the box but not inside the dustcover
Double boxing is a good idea. Triple is, IMHO, overkill. Bubble wrap or peanuts are fine for cushioning as long as all vacant space is filed and the contents don't move around. I've never ad a turntable damaged in shipment following those directions/
