shipping a power steering box

[Topcat]

Triple wrap in plastic bag, find a box then a milk crate..... Milk crates are stout & have handles.... Large zip ties hold the box in the milk crate....

Exactly what I did.

Milk crate then took 1/4"  thick plywood and drilled a cover on top.
There were 2 in it.

Done!
I sent it Uship.com

This girl showed up in a SUV stuffed with furniture and a litter of Pitbull Puppies headed to Oregon.
Showed up 2-3 days later. 70 bucks.

you can also use expansion foam (think 'great stuff' brand) within plastic bags. eg: shipping box with 2 bags with the steering box sandwiched between and then filling the bags with expansion foam  so it fills the dead space. using 2 bags makes it easy to seperate and remove the steering box at its destination.  this might give a better idea of what I'm talking about http://www.lpsind.com/packaging-shipping-systems/protective-wrap-cushioning-material/instapak-quick-packaging-foam/

That's a cool idea!.  I know I've gotten a few parts where that was used.

I fit mine in one of those prepaid USPS boxes, if it fits it ships deal...I think it was 20 bucks. Shipped it from NJ to Michigan (steer and gear) without any issues...
