ups will take it. just pack it real good. iirc over 75ibs is dimensional weight; meaning it'll cost you more, but im sure you knew that already. good luck

hahahahaha · 03-06-2007, 07:58 PM

k thank u very much !

forum04pl · 03-06-2007, 10:53 PM

yeah just be careful with it, make sure you pack it and its packed well. some idiot at ups will just fill the thing with packaging peanuts that will end up getting all inside of that shit

o and how much would u guys estimate it weights??

A Spec Products · 03-06-2007, 11:15 PM

I'd probably shrink wrap it (use like saran wrap or something to seal it so nothing gets inside, then use newspaper balls or any other version of padding to keep it from getting jarred.

Solid styrofoam would work, maybe try to find an old printer box, or some electronic equipment box, cause it would have solid styrofoam for padding.

bump . link to get a quote? thanx
i googled it and got onto ups web site but didnt find it

Go to the UPS, Fedex, or USPS website. They'll need the weight, and shipping to and from area codes.
Edit: Since you said you went to the site and could anything. I made it a little easier for the internet challenged.

Saran wrap it a lot.
Bubble wrap.
Those peanut shits.
Put it in a tupperware thing. Idk how to spell it.
Drill some holes into the sides through the lid.
Ziptie the holes. Do about 8? 8 sounds good.
Box it.
Take it.
Done.
