We just old a set of Banshee front and rear plastics and shipped them in the box that new plastic came in. We charged 32 to ship it so it should be a little cheaper , depends on where its going:ermm:

if you have a UPS store or a Mail Boxes Etc. near you? They will box it up for you for around 25 bucks and ship it for you for around the same amount.

Get some 3mil plastic. You can wrap it up with that and shipping tape. Make sure you put something over all edges and corners. I talked to the ups guy and he said that with the weird shape that they always get put on top of the stack.

Yea, I got a full set of plastics shipped from Florida to New Hampshire for 8$. Just wrap it up in garbage bags and duct tape, and lots of it.

Dont take it top mail boxes etc! What they do is charge you more to ship it and then they just drive down to the post office and mail it:confused2 When you can just drive to the post office and mail yourself for cheaper :uhoh:

Well, my stuff arrived half in a black trash bag, then wrapped in clear plastic, then with a ton of duct tape on it, and it showed up intact. I wouldn't bother with the news paper.

I would put insurance on it.., wait you might want to ask before you do because I have had some show up that way and the driver said that since it was not packaged in a box they would not insure it if it was damaged.. just check with them..
