shipping props .
 

need ideas on how to ship two props to be reworked ( what to ship them in , and cost of shipping.) and also who to ship them to.

Take the extra time to build wooden boxes out of 3/4 pylwood or something similar. Most shipping companies beat the sh*t out of everything especially fragile stuff.It doesn't hurt to put a handle on the box either.

Wes, Call me

27 FOUNTAIN, you are absolutely right! I have a box just as you described. ;) Best part is, now get this, I still have yet to open it!
Jerry

we do not beat the sh^t outta the packages :rolleyes: :eek: we do stand and jump on them :D

CAN I PUT THEM BOTH IN THE SAME BOX.AND WHERE CAN I SEND THEM ?

The nicest box that I've seen, was one that was roughly square (you'll pay alot, but U-haul has 'em) and the prop was bolted to a piece of plywood. Packing peanuts wern't even required.

I can break any box you people make :eek: :D

what do you think our little brown trucks are for.. smashing da boxes :D :D

Maybe put them in a box then in another box that fits tight . Put a peice of cardbord between props and pack lots of news paper so they can't move .

I got my props shipped in a "prop box". It has two cardboard inserts inside (top & bottom) that are sliced to hold the blades in place. Hill has em.

I wouldn't put two in one box. Call your prop guy- he'll probably send them to you.

:D

Mercury has prety tough boxes that they ship their props in, I allways have just reused the ones the props came in, but since you don't have those maybe a local dealer would have or save you some prop boxes. The Mercury High Performance boxes have plywood that the prop gets bolted to that slides into one side of the box.
