I will need to ship a rear fender w/sail panel from FL to IL.
What is the recommended packaging?
I've considered going to a glass shop and getting their old carboard packages and cutting down to size. I was going to tape appropriately.
Should I use peanuts or bubble-wrap?
Should I support the the inside with some kind of 1"x1" wood?
I'm planning to ship via UPS and will check with them with the final size and weight.
What is the usual charge for handling/packing for something this large?

I got boxes from work. lucky for me 737s have some big parts. I cut to fit and measured it. I went to thier web sites to the get quote area and both told me it was out of the size restrictions. No pictures of it sorry.
Grayhound is the best way to ship big stuff.

$30 to send a hood from North Dakota to Georgia wrapped it in bubble wrap and taped cardboard (from big boxes) over that. It arrived fine.

if you are worried about it getting damaged, just build a wooden frame from 1x1's and cover it with card board...I sent a few doors up to Canada that way......

Motorcycle shops are great for really big cardboard boxes, especially Harleys.
