So I'm pretty much an amateur when it comes to shipping.

I'm trying to ship a set of seats, maybe a bumper... they're freaking huge. Does anyone know where I can go where they would be able to help me to wrap these up professionally so I can ship these?

I'm not confident in my own packaging skill, and I don't want to disappoint the buyer of my stuff.

Thanks in advance.
Calvin

They'll make a box to ship anything really, and if they package it and it gets damaged (and you insured them) the liability is 100% on them for packing them well enough and you'll get paid


HONESTLY, I'd buy 100ft of bubble wrap, wrap the crap out of them and ship greyhound for something like seats
