Hey guys, time for a very noob question! :D

I'm wanting to ship my full accord euro lipkit interstate as there are a few guys interested from NSW, but since the pieces are so big, I'm having trouble thinking of the best way to pack them!

This is what I have tried so far.. as you can see its nor efficient or effective (and quite embarassing, really :angel:!) :(

Basically, I was thinking of putting a few boxes together with sticky tape to make an enclosure :(

From the experience of all who have shipped car parts, what is the best way to pack this kit?

Also, I'm thinking of using http://transdirect.com.au/ as my friend told me that they were good, can anyone back this up?

Thanks!

What I did with my lips is cut strips of cardboard thin enough to bend, and just go from there.

First bubblewrap it then cardboard it with individual strips (about 40-50cm long and 10-20cm wide).

You could probably bubble wrap the kit really well, and send it as fragile freight.

Ive used a comparison site before called baggage freight. all the major freight companies have instant quotes on there.

Been satisfied both times ive used it.
