i've had ups take them straight up with no further packaging before

i'd recommend patching cardboard around it one way or another though

it's going to be pricey- i never could find a way to do it cheap enough to make it worth shipping my boxes around the country for people (except for those who REALLY think i do a good job)

get some shrink wrap and just wrap it in that.

take it to a UPS shipping center, NOT an over priced UPS store.

most UPS shipping centers are only open from 4 pm to 6pm to ship things out though.

so UPS would be cheaper than most other places?

 

[youngcoke]

DHL is the cheapest, 10 bucks cheaper than the ups store. next up was the united postal, than Fedex (all just cents different, pick whatevers closest to you. i wrapped mine with cardboard and taped it all up.

btw itll be about $23-24 for all the above, except UPS, which was 34. these prices were for shipping a 50 lb box through like 6 states

I usually ship everything FEDEX but last time i tried DHL. The girl at the counter were MUCH cuter and i actually got her number. . . plus it was 6 bucks cheaper than FEDEX. I think i found my new shipping company! I know you ****ers are gonna ask for pictures arent you?
