I've got a door that I need to ship. Greyhound has been mentioned as an inexpensive means to get it from Ccincinnati. How should I box this thing? It's still has the glass in it. Door handles and locking mechanisms have been removed.
Would it be enough if I taped a couple of layers of corugated cardboard to the outside? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) Rick |

Almost impossible to ship doors w/out damage. The first set I bought shipped common carrier. The second set were shipped UPS. Both sets were shipped w/ all of the guts in them. Both sets arrived w/ the edges folded over (hard to fix).
Late doors have a crash beam in them and they weigh over 60lbs each complete. If you are going to ship doors you need to strip them. You also need to attach something rigid to the front & rear edges of the doors to protect them. My .02 |
