Shipping off customboards
 
Hello everyone, I just sold 1 of my boards, whats the safest way to send them off ?, I was told to use UPS, is this the best way to send off such a big item, I'm terrified the thing may get damaged, I really don't how to pack the thing myself for the postoffice, anyway, for you guys who ship boards off, what do you do.

Fed Ex...Norb pay for the extra insurance
 
I had the experience and they paid the max + shipping....and the gracious customer waited while I rebuilt another for him during the claims process. It all panned out and was a win win for seller and buyerthmbsp$ ppls$ .....Be sure to use as much bubble wrap as possible for "FRAGILE" does not guarantee that it will be treated that waythmbsp$ thmbsp$ Protect your item even moreso in the boxthmbsp$

I was told that UPS and Fed X would pack the board themselves, is this true ?.

Yes, but they wanted $50 + to pack up the board for me.

Go to self storage spot and get a tv box
 
usually 52x30 or something like that and cut it down to fit the board...Costco or Sams club has bulk bubble wrap for $12-14 plenty in the box. Norb pay a niece or someone responsible and meticulous to pack it but the shippers over charge for shipping and supplies....unless you dont mind:eek:
