way OT, but this is the best place

2009-01-21 by Jon

I need to ship something in the same size and fragility range as an M400 from Kansas to Italy. Can anybody offer any suggestions, advice, warnings, anything to set me on the right path to succeed at this task?

Hi Jon,

The answer kind of depends on whether the transaction is business to business or personal. The difficulty is not the packaging or finding a shipper but rather preparing the necessary documents that must accompany the item. Clearing customs with the appropriate paperwork if the key. I recommend you job it out to a company in your area that has experience with Italy. The rules very greatly by country . Good luck.

John

Hi Jon:

The best way to make sure the contents don't get damaged is to package the item inside a wooden box, and then to "float" that box with lots of styrofoam / insulation inside a much larger box.

This way the outer box takes the brunt of all the banging and the inside box does not incurr the any of the impact.

Another way to avoid damage is to drive it to Italy.
