Shipping advice
Sold all my fairings and shit... cannot find a damn box big enough... any advice on shipping? Box sources, packaging, freight carriers...
|
take multiple boxes and tape them together? Get some cheap 1x2 wood and make a frame and cover in cardboard?
Go buy a new fridge and use the box to ship the fairings. Couple options. |
1) Assume they will destroy it
2) Pack accordingly 3) Insurance!!! ...if possible, with a private shipping insurance firm, as UPS and FEDEX will destroy your shit, and then blame your fucking packaging, regardless of how well packed it is. 4) Pray |
Hope you got enough money for shipping from whoever you sold it to.
I recently bought new side fairings for my BMW. The box was 39"x39"x16", and to ship UPS was $140. I'm with Cutty, tape boxes together to *make* a big box. |
I shipped all my street fairings off my R6 for $73 using USPS. Luckily I had my big track bodywork box to use...
|
Make sure the boxes used are what is known as "double corrugated", or else they will blame the packing FOR SURE if anything goes bad.
|
Put "Do not stack" on it. Im sure they will but maybe those wont throw shit on it.

FedEx goes by weight and dimensions... not sure about UPS... and USPS is weight only... gonna have to figure out what's cheapest, most likely USPS - however with them I have to keep the dimensions 34"x24"x24" or smaller... which should be doable... I'll just rip down some OSB into strips and reinforce the box that way... I padded the selling price so shipping was factored... I'm ending up within $10-$15 of what I wanted... good deal for everyone... |
FedEx will be the cheapest. I have shipped tons of fairings, car bumpers, and even motors. Fedex.
Hit up the local walmart even and get some boxes. |
