Shipping off customboards

[Norbert Revels]

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.

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 buyer .....Be sure to use as much bubble wrap as possible for "FRAGILE" does not guarantee that it will be treated that way Protect your item even moreso in the box

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.

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
