Shipping the case

[cmcfaul]

Time to send my case out for repair. Sending it to Ollies in AZ. How do you ship these things.

Bolt together, wrap in Bubble wrap. Not too heavy? Box will hold up?

Send each half separately, wraped in bubble wrap.

Please let me know the best way to send.

Thanks

I sent my case recently to ollies and this is what I did:

Bolted together (to protect the mating surfaces)
Remove studs from ends of case (transmission studs and engine mount studs)
Wrap in plastic (garbage bag works)
Cardboard box
Lots of cardboard as packing (Mine had about 1 1/2" of extra cardboard all around the case)

The above is also how it came back from ollies.

I have seen cases shipped with the foam in place stuff around them.
The idea is to bag the case inside the box...then spray in the expanable foam to take up the extra space...the foam ends up inside a bag of its own...so it's easy to remove and then reinstall when case comes back.

I ship these pretty regularly. I remove all the protruding studs, wrap the case in a contractor bag and then carpet remnants before putting the wrapped case in a custom heavy duty cardboard box. The Al cases are much heavier than the Mag cases and need a double wall cardboard box.
