I am also two hours from the nearest Apple Store but, when my iPad required service, I used Apple's ship-in option. I dropped off the iPad at a USP Store near my home on a Friday morning and the replacement unit was in my hands Wednesday morning. I did not even have to package it--UPS did that for me as part of the service. By the time I arrived home, I had an email from Apple that they had already received notification that the iPad was on its way.
If you do not have access to a USP Store, the ship-in method may have a pick-up option at your home or place of business. In the case you will need to pack it but Apple will send you a box and shipping label.
Be sure to read this regarding proper erasure and preparation for shipment regard less of who packs it:
