WE KNOW THAT PACKING YOUR MACHINE UP, AND SHIPPING IT ACROSS THE COUNTRY CAN SEEM LIKE A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE. WE ALSO KNOW THAT IT IS SO IMPORTANT, THAT IT COULD PLAY A MAJOR PART IN WHICH SERVICE PROVIDER YOU CHOOSE. FOR THIS REASON, WE HAVE SET UP PROCEDURES THAT SHOULD LIGHTEN THE BURDEN CONSIDERABLY.
PACKING YOUR BOX
FIRST AND FOREMOST, DO NOT TAKE YOUR MACHINE TO MAIL BOXES ETC. THEY NORMALLY CHARGE AT LEAST THREE TIMES WHAT IT IS GOING TO COST YOU TO PACK AND SHIP IT YOURSELF. WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU BUBBLE PACK YOUR MACHINE VERY WELL. THEN PUT IT IN A BOX WITH AT LEAST SIX INCHES OF PADDING ALL THE WAY AROUND. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT! TRY TO FIND AS STURDY OF A BOX AS POSSIBLE. WE SUGGEST THAT YOU NOT SEND YOUR MACHINE IN THE CASE, AND ONLY SEND ACCESSORIES IF YOU ARE SUSPECTING A PROBLEM WITH THEM. IF YOU ARE GOING TO USE PACKING PEANUTS, PUT YOUR MACHINE IN A BAG BEFORE YOU PUT IT IN THE PEANUTS.
CARRIER AND COSTS
WE RECOMMEND FEDEX AS THE SHIPPER. THEY SEEM TO DO THE BEST JOB OF HANDLING THE PACKAGES. HOWEVER, THEY ARE NOT ALWAYS THE CHEAPEST. THERE IS ALSO UPS AND OF COURSE THE U.S. POSTAL SERVICE. IF YOU DO SEND YOUR MACHINE THROUGH THE POST OFFICE, BE SURE TO ONLY SEND IT VIA EXPRESS MAIL. THIS IS THE ONLY TRACKABLE SERVICE THAT THEY OFFER. WE ALSO RECOMMEND THAT YOU INSURE YOUR PACKAGE NO MATTER WHO THE CARRIER.
