Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors John Wright's firearms to be auctioned (1st of two)

After I hit the post button, on my shipping rant, I stood up and walked into the living room, and just started chuckling. This box was setting on the couch. So, I sat on it. No butt impression, then I put it on the floor and stood on it, no Krock impressions. Not saying who shipped it, but, it did make it from Oregon to MD with no tire tracks or Go-Rilla prints on it. You don't have to go to the welding shop and have a 10 gauge steel box made. Every body says, "I wrapped it in bubble Wrap".. Take a 6' piece of bubble wrap and try to hold it out like a broom stick, you can't. So if your box is stuffed with BW, it will still bend in half. Put 4 broom sticks along the inside of the box, and pack it tight with bubble wrap, then you cant bend the box. I've taken the loppers down in the woods and cut 4, 1" Sassafras poles and put them in boxes. It doesn't take a lot of money, just some thought on how to make it rigid. As was said above, you can't make the shipper do it right. And as Randy just learned, sending a good case ahead, is a "pretty darn good idea."
