KIC Posted May 25, 2012 #1 Posted May 25, 2012 I have to ship a 1st Gen MK1 hitch to a member. Anybody know the best way to do this ? wrap it up ? box it ? wire a tag to it and ship it as is ? It is such a weird shape. Just wondering if anybody has done this before ?
Carbon_One Posted May 25, 2012 #2 Posted May 25, 2012 Considering its condition and size/shape I would simply tag it and ship it as is. Of course that may depend on the shipper used but I'm fairly certain UPS would accecpt it that way. No idea what the Postal service would say thou. Larry
Condor Posted May 25, 2012 #5 Posted May 25, 2012 Looks like someone's home made, and not a Venture Line. The problem you're going to run into is UPS will calculate weight based on the size of the item if they'll take one just tagged, or box size if packed. And that's going to cost more than the thing is worth.... You might try common carrier with just a tag?? Not sure how they'd handle it, but they do take tagged items.
FuzzyRSTD Posted May 25, 2012 #6 Posted May 25, 2012 I would box it up and send through the post office. Go to the local Dollar Store and get youself a box after you measure it. Most stores recycle the boxes, but if you ask they will give you one.The United States Postal Service rates are good and they take care of your stuff. You can track it on line and it will cost you around $20 - $25 dollars or so to ship just regular mail. Six to Ten/Fourteen days in transit, depending on where. Fuzzy
Guest Posted May 25, 2012 #7 Posted May 25, 2012 Yea, ditto on the Postal Service. Box it up but pad the item well so it dont poke out of the box. An old sheet or bubble wrap should work well. If there is no rush then Parcel Post would be the cheapest way to ship it.
dacheedah Posted May 25, 2012 #8 Posted May 25, 2012 I would wrap with cardboard slap a label on it. Consider shipping via Greyhound bus, found it to be cheap but the receiver has to go to the terminal nearest them and pick up
Yammer Dan Posted May 25, 2012 #9 Posted May 25, 2012 The last one I shipped I cut her up in pieces and:think: OH YOU SAID HITCH!!! :innocent:Never mind....
