Best way to ship plastics
I was wondering if some of you could help me out. I'm trying to figure out the best way to ship my f2 plastics.As of now, I'mgoing to wrap them all up (sending the two lowers and tail pieces) in thick bubble wrap, then wrap in brown paper. Sound good? Who is my best option? Post office? DHL? I've shipped a fair amount of parts in the last few months, but these are especially akward and unusual as far as shape goes. Can anyone give me an estimite on cost? Any other suggestions?

I can't give you a cost estimate... but I would go to a fed ex or ups and wrap them in bubble wrap then stick them in a box. The box will prevent them from flexing or getting crushed.

+1 . If you go to a UPS they have the bubble wrap and box's there (for a cost of course)
i recently shipped some stuff and i went to a few stores in my area and asked for some empty box's. everyone was more then happy to let me look through and see if any were good for what i needed. I have bubble wrap that i bought at office max (i think)
I would use at least newspaers to wrap the fairings and fill in any empty space in the box with loosley crumpled newspaper.
