    Lots of bubble wrap or an old comforter and a long square box. Person who shipped my Stromung used two long boxes together and an old comforter

    bubble wrap, peanuts, and a snug box. you dont want it to move around too much. if you use a comforter, remember that weight is part of the price... so is size and declared value.

    I shipped my stock exhaust via Greyhound to PA. I went to Crown BMW...went back to the back by the dumpsters and found an old box or two that were used for large parts...they had no problem with me taking them off their hands. Can't remember how much it cost...maybe 50 or 60 bucks...I just know it was WAY cheaper than FedEx or UPS....like maybe 1/3 of their cost.

    so I checked around and found that Greyhound is the cheapest...from OK to VA ...it is $64 for only one 1 day/4hrs/30mins......UPS is the most expensive at $46 for 3day ground not counting weekends...(stupid)Fedex was 34 dollars for 3 days ground not counting weekends... and the best in my book is USPS at $31 for 6 days ground......thats insurance of 100 dollars and for the USPS i even put on a signature confirmation on it other wise it would have been $28......

    but those are from online quotes and before i wrapped the exhaust.....

    You are talking about old comforter, new here from Australia, I also got an old comforter and I am trying to make it in take-able condition. Possible? The photo of the comforter is http://www.elanlinen.com.au/comforter-sets name is Plumiere Comforter Set by Bianca Lorenne. It was costly, so I don't want to waste it in bin!

    Guy shipped me one cross country and he bubble wrapped it and then went to a music store and asked for a couple boxes that guitars came in, boxed it up and shipped. No damage on that one.
