Idrees Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Hi guys,I am having more trouble than ever with couriers lately, so I need some boxes made up. I wrap items in 2 layers of bubble wrap, a layer of cardboard and then 2-3 layers of heavy duty cling wrap. The couriers still manage to damage some parts and I can't understand why. I have bonnets ready to be sent, however I'm worried that they will damage these too. I could give them extra packaging, ie. 4 layers of bubble wrap and 2 layers of cardboard but I'm sure they will still manage to damage them too (like they did with a tailgate recently which took me 2 hours to package).So, I need to look in to having custom sized cardboard boxes made for some parts. Has anyone ever used this sort of stuff before, if so can you recommend any companies with good prices?CheersIdrees Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GTnomez Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I was meaning to send you a text about having a look at your couriers at a set of items you sent me were damaged when i finally opened them up yesterday Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GTnomez Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Didnt want to hassle you bro as to be fair was a while ago when you sent them, so i just repaired them instead of making a fuss. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gaz Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I actually knew of a place last year. I've forgotten now. It was while I was researching something. I know you want to look into dropshipping and distribution services obviously. Try to look into packaging distribution, I will look somewhere later for you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jozinobi Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Would the type of cardboard you use make a difference Id?Corrugated stuff is meant to be bend proof and prevent punctures.Just bought 100 mailers for some LPs I'm selling.My roll cage was scraped down one side due to the shipping, this was w/o cardboard tho.Just because it is wrapped plenty, does not mean it cannot get damaged Joz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
