Re: Shipping T/C advice

palleting or crating, unless the item can't be unloaded without a forklift.
I would check into it, you may be surprised at the cost.

Re: Shipping T/C advice
Tupperware!
Stop the laughing, seriously crate it up in one of those large tupperware
containers that have the snapclose lids, and throughly pack it in place with
a combination of cardboard, and newspaper, then tape the lid on securely
with 1000 mile an hour black gaffer type tape, and slap a shipping label on
it.
Of course first check with your shipping company if they will take this. It
shouldnt add more than about 5lbs to the package.

Oh yeah....
Oh yeah, if you get the right container it will probably have handles on it
too for the driver to lift it with should he need to.
I store over a hundred lbs of dog food in one, and regularly pick it up and
move it around the house without it collapsing.
