How to ship a bed (in three easy steps?) - tanTALK

ogtinc · 11-17-2003, 07:34 PM

Hey all-
Well I have finally managed to sell one of the older beds I replaced to a home user. Unfortunately, they are about 800 miles away and I am now faced with crating and shipping it to them. Has anyone done this before? If so any suggestions on what to do, where to get crating materials, etc, would be very helpful. I can have the shipping company do it but they charge .35/pound and on a 400+ bed I am pretty sure I can do better.

Thanks!!

we had a local factory grate some for us one time, they did an excellent job and only charge us 150 for crating 4 beds. we offered free 1 week tanning to everyone who helped also
