Shipping Question

Well, I have someone interested in buying my subs and the sub box. But they want me to ship everything. I have never shipped subs or anything this heavy, before. So what would be the proper way to ship everything? The subs in the box or separately? And what packaging would I use so it arrives safely with no damage?

the thick bubble wrap works good too. I usually use some1-2" thick foam all around the sub. Separate box for each sub

How can I find out how much shipping will be, since I don't have scale or anything?

If you have no way to weigh it, you'll need to take it to the shipping store and have them check it.

And if you guesstimate and check it online, prepare to get ***** up to 30% of the estimate, I have almost NEVER gotten that price when shipping, even when my weight and dimensions were exact. Their calculators LIE.

If you buy the label online sometimes you get a discount fyi

Also you can have the UPS Store package it, then if its damaged they have to pay for it. If you package and buy insurance they can be dumb about it from what Ive heard.

I will check out UPS and see how much it will be.
