i need to ship an exhaust, and the biggest ones from ups and usps wont cut it.
need something 5’ x 20" x 12". any ideas? thanks.
- buy yourself a new exhaust
- recycle the box for the one you’re mailing out.
seriously, I don’t know.
call up tops or a appliance store, im sure if you asked nicley they would put a box aside for you instead of breaking it down and throwing it away
Or call a bicycle shop.
FYI: tops won’t have boxes that big. (I should know, I’ve worked in pretty much every department at the Tops on Robinson)
Make your own out of various boxes taped together
check dumpsters behind collision shops or car dealerships, bumpercovers also come in huge boxes.
^ heh. call ahead to make sure they don’t mess them up or anything.
umm, just wrap it in bubble wrap and send it on its way. Its not like metal pipe is gonna break.
I bought close to a refrigerator sized box from uhaul… expensive there tho
rip boxes at the seam, lay them flat, wrap each exhaust part in a sheet of cardboard, duct tape the bunch together, wrap the bunch with 2 - 3 sheets of cardboard… done.
I have dont it this way several times and it works great… you dont need a stupid square box… you just cant have anything sticking out… very simple and it doesnt matter what size the boxes you get are…
thanks guys, i think im gonna break down a couple boxes and give that a shot.
btw…what do you think would be cheapest for something like this? ups’s site gave me the cheapest quote.
Fedex Ground, hands down, is the cheapest service for heavy packages.
