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 |

roll the windows down before you ship. get a good box, try a moving co if all else fails, and cut down to fit. shipping will be a bit dear, period. i would worry about suitcases being stack on top during stops between destinations. find a small wooden pallet and put a box together w/ screws and some 1/2 plywood. chances are you will be in an oversized situation, length+girth, over 108" and it can be a bit shocking. use the a.atlan price for insurance. if it's wrecked you might get more than you're selling for.
