Whenever possible I have the client come to the studio to pick it up. As Kim suggests, I have it on the easel, and sometimes I even drape it so that they don't see it from an odd angle as they come through the door. That depends on whether they've already seen it and how formal the relationship is, too.
When I deliver it I just bring it without a wrap unless it's raining, and then I use a large plastic bag from a place like AC Moore to cover it loosely. I'll sometimes send it home in a bag like that, too, but usually I just let the client take it and put it in the back seat of his or her car, unwrapped.
