kodie Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 I'm going to get my motor all ready to ship it to Kevin. I tried to search it but I couldn't find anything. :shrug: Who do you guys go threw? And how do you crate them up? I haven't shipped anything bigger than a ps3 or xbox 360.

trailshee Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 I use ups. Buy one of those plastic tubs from Walmart and use lots of bubble wrap and screw the lid on. It works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPEN Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 My first time I shipped my motor we built a crate outta plywood and 2x4s but the problem with that is it ads quite a bit of weight.. The second time my motor traveled I bought one of those big HD plastic totes with a lid n shit.. Packed it in ther good with paper or whatever and you should be good to go.. The first time I sent mine was through UPS but I don't recomend them.. The price was ok then but their shipping rates have gone through the roof since.. So that being said Iam not sure who I would use to send it through.. RIPPEN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansh-eman Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 if your shipping top and bottom end get a rubber amde tub, and pack old sheets and pillows around it and drill some holes in the lid and zip tie it. for the topend just pack it i a box and ship it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tedder Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Twice I've seen bottom cases broken around the drain plug from rough shippers. Pack carefully so there's no way for the plug to take the hit when in transit.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbcmudtruck Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 It cost me $100 each way to send mine out to kevin. I think I put down three towels in the bottom and mine came back ok through fedex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duneman101 Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Get a HD rubbermaid bin from wally world, dril holes around the top and zip tie it, get some really heavy duty insulation styrofoam and put it on the bottom and around the sides, it will indent perfectly and it offers great protection, it also keeps the motor from wiggling around...
