FedEx or UPS

Do you think media mail would still "fly" today on that crate with usps ? I send a package to my brother, & they grill me if I have a note also in this small box. If I say yes ,then they charge me extra = cost of a stamp.... "for the letter", NO JOKE !

O.K. , so lift a 125 pound machine off the ground 2 1/2 feet (or more) and try to put it over, then Into ,a wooden crate, with out dropping it ....into it .... foam on all 4 sides, add bubble wrap , or ect. on top of the slot, screw lid back down.

Any one use DHL, from business to business location ? many of us still work for a living.
They seem to do a nice job, when we receive items via them. Again ,it's Aerospace stuff..... 22 jet fuel nozzles per crate , at $54,000.00 each.....Yea a bigger hit ,than a $1,000.00 slot machine, Plus the FAA hassle.

I read about the media mail trick here and tried it twice so far. They grill me about the contents also all I have inside is packing materials and return address labels. I made my "crate" out of two 235 pound burst strength cardboard boxes and lined with foam board too. So important to email shipper to detail how to pack with peanuts under machine and packed in tight on all sides. Top is most important more peanuts and wadded up newspaper and a tight fitting foam board! No wiggle room no movement at all!

So far so good but I'm running out of room at home. Maybe one more machine to put on the bar....
