Re: Flat Rate Shipping WIGGLE FACTOR !!!
Most of the time I use news paper packed very tightly. For fragile items I use the heavy blue bubble wrap used by England furniture. I get it free (minus my gas money) from a somewhat local furniture store. That stuff is near bullet proof and comes in real big sheets. Anyone who has bought parts from me that needed good padding can attest to the strength of that stuff. Rod

Re: Flat Rate Shipping WIGGLE FACTOR !!!
Yes, check on line for rates. Once had a fedex quote of $275 for 2d day air. Looked online at usps, paid $90 for overnight (oregon to ny). You need to know approximate weight and dimensions of box.

Re: Flat Rate Shipping WIGGLE FACTOR !!!
ALWAYS shake your box, VIOLENTLY, before shipping. If there is any movement, REPACK !
Those peanuts are almost useless, as packing. They either bunch up, leaving air space or crumble. Packing tight with newspapers, has always worked best for me. MIKE (mikeburch) |

Now I did have a strange problem with a camshaft that I sent to Pete. I thought I had it packaged so well that it would be totally indestructible, but when it arrived at Petes place it was broken in half. I could not believe it. Pete gave me instuctions on how he normally packs them for shipping and the second one I sent got there in one piece.
