Hey guys. I've got a pair of iron gt40's that I may be shipping in the next month or so and obviously a cardboard box isn't going to cut it. Whats the best container? How should I secure it in the container. I was thinking zipties to a board?

Also, who do you think would be the best shipping company. Its gonna be freight cause of the weight, I'm sure. I need a company that can do pickup (preferably free)as I don't want to try lugging these two towns over. I live in the sticks and the nearest FedEx or ups store is about 40 mins out.

Thanks.

Two things you can do.

1. Wrap the heck out of each head in a lot of bubble wrap. You can then put them in a box that is really snug. From there, you can pack them into another box snug....this works very well....100% success rate with me.

2. Same as #1, but you can box each head seperatley, and send the package "1 of 2". The shipping is the same amount

3. I use UPS for the heads, you might have to get the special sticker, "75lbs and over".

4. Insure the package!!
