Best way to package sidepipes for shipping?

[jwoodard]

I took my pipes to a UPS Store and had them package them for shipping. It's been 4 years or so ago and I don't remember the cost, but I do recall being satisfied and they arrived in perfect condition. Don't make this too difficult on yourself. Take it to the professionals and let them do it.

I agree with Jim. Take the pipes to your nearest UPS store and ask them for an estimate and how they would package for shipping. That will give you an answer vs. your own homemade packaging and shipping costs. As far as safety goes I have often shipped antique flintlock long rifles (high $) without any problems to date. Good luck!

I would also pack some styrofoam around the tips and collectors. I have had newly coated pipes come back (via UPS) that had the tips bent in.

Jim also sent out a set of stainless pipes for me that I had sold the same way. There were no issues with these either.

I wrapped mine in bubble wrap and cut down a large cardboard box to size. I think Staples will box anything for $5.00 if they ship it.
By the way, you can paint them black for around $10 and it lasts at least 1 driving season.
