Montserrat Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 How do you guys pack intarsia, so that it makes it safely through USPS and UPS doesn't break the bank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye10 Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 I don't know about intarsia but I have never had anything damaged in USPS flat rate boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry1939 Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 I ship a lot of fretwork (not intarsia). Wrap it with a few layers of bubble wrap. As for the cost, with any carrier, it makes you wonder about taking out a home equity loan. Had already thought about delivering it ourselves, but the gas & meal(s) would cost more. Be prepared to bite the bullet. I don't sell anything, but for those of you that do, be sure to have the buyer also pick up the cost of freight. jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailfndr Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 I have shipped many Intarsia pieces. I wrap in Bubblewrap, and pack tightly in a box so that it can not move. I have also used FedEx to ship larger pieces in what they call and Artists box. Have not had any pieces break to date.
