I've never personally done it, But I hear the easiest way is to just saran wrap the crap out of it and stick a label to it.

I wouldnt really feel comfortable with that though, I would just box them up

I shipped my 400ex maier race plastic front and rear with a seat cover almost all the way across the states for about $15. I dont know how it was that cheap.....

I have had banshee plastic shipped to me before and the guy only charged me like $25 to ship, I thought he was getting screwed for sure.. You would be surprised how small of a box you can fit that stuff in.:eek2:

Take it down to every little piece you can then shrink wrap each piece then shink warp it all together. then it should be small enough to fit in a decent sized box (may have to make your own box for really odd shapes) and then take to fed ex. I have shipped 300ex, yfz450, 250x plastics (full sets) all for $17.99

Don't go to UPS (prices way too high)

I have found fed ex on average $20 cheaper on everything.


I had a boy ship plastic to me in a big arse box and he spent $118 and I turned around and shipped my old plastic for $17.99


just use your head and compact it more and you will ship it cheap/
