I've fucked a large box before, never shipped one.

UPS does not carry large boxes anymore. They sent me to a storage and moving store that had a large variety for cheap. Places like Uhaul.

the bumper boxes we have at work are

73x37x29 if i remember correctly.

[mr_240sx]

just go to a dealership..... im sure you can probably get one there.....

[azndummie]

i think any shipping store should have it, most of them do packaging too

You're wasting time and money using a box. Shrinkwrap it, cuts down on size, weight, and packing. I do it religiously on bumpers.

[heyitzalan]

lol, these stores doesn't carry large ass boxes.

[Brian]

Not too long ago this shop sent back one of our fiberglass bumpers.... just on its own. no box.



it was broken.

They carry smaller ones. Guess the thought of putting two together or using several small boxes to build a larger one skipped right over your feeble little brain.

Pretty sad when a car devoted forum becomes the place to find daily used articles like cardboard.

Just go to UHaul and get a wardrobe box, or two (if you have to put them together - all depends on the aero)

bubble wrap it 3 or 4 layers and put a stick label on it.. UPS even told me to do this.

or build your own box

i used to work at a body kit company, they had custom made boxes that where huge.. people would always want us to stuff everyhting into 1 box to save on shipping instead of 2 boxes, (fenders, 4 pc. body kit etc) .. yah stuffing isnt good becuase it gets damaged.

but besides that.. U could try wrapping it and shipping grayhound or one of those bus companies, they will put it on the bus. someone suggested i do that for sideskirts but i ended up sellin em locally. fiberglass bumpers tho is too risky.. esp jdm thin fiberglass bumpers.

Since I work at UPS, I wouldn't recommend that. The best way to ship a bumper is in a wooden box made of llightweight material. I really don't know the name of that type of lightweight wood, but it is strong. We have a shipper that uses it all the time to ship auto body parts internationaly. In addition I would fill the inside up real good with filler (bubblewrap, styrofoam, newspaper, etc.). I mean, if you're shipping an aftermarket non-oem aero that cost a lot, thats the best measure to take.

Ofcourse the cheaper alternative is to use a cardboard box. If yo go that rotue, also pack it up real good with filler. I guess you can go to a body shop, dealership, etc. to find an empty bumper box if you want.

Only because people who work at UPS don't give a flying fuck about taking care of packages, they just throw the shit around like trash and make their $20/hr.

The wood in question is balsa wood.

[Brian]

Yeah I pretty much HATE shipping with UPS.
They break a LOT of the stuff I send.
