Pallet and wrapping for shipping pin

[ritewhereiwant2b]

Any suggestions on where to buy a pallet and wrapping at a good cost for shipping a pin to YVR?

I can give you a pallet and a roll of hand wrap if you want to drive to Hamilton mountain.

You will also need cardboard, two tow straps and possibly zip ties.

Depending on who you ship with, they will pallet and wrap on their own (and sometimes for free). Maritime Ontario would always do that for me. I simply prewrapped the pin in cardboard, tape and my own wrap (you can get it at UHaul or Staples), then brought it to their shipping station and they took over. I haven't done it in a few years though.

Hi Staydown. Thanks! Ill take you up on that offer. The pallet should fit in the back of a minivan, right? Ill let the buyer know who has agreed to cover the cost of the move.

Yes a standard pallet fits in a minivan. I'm heading to Burlington tomorrow morning and could drop it off (I only have the work minivan until Thursday).

I'll send you a pm with my contact info.

Not everyone has access to banding and if done wrong can seriously damage a cabinet
