Nuclear-Proof Shipping Method! (1 Viewer)

[Trihonda]

This is my normal chip shipping method (for anything of value). Figured I'd share:


Using a cookie rack to keep chips in line, while I shrink/wrap them.

Take the shrink-wrapped rolls and use a padded envelope to secure groups of them together.

Take a box (in this case a MFRB) and line it with HD table foam.

Place the bundles of chips (in the padded mailer) in the middle. If need be, use peanuts or packing filler to make sure chips are immobile (firmly in place)

Ensure there's no impact between any multiple layers of chips.

Not shown, but take a capper layer of foam on the top, then tape until it's water/air tight

"cookie rack to keep chips in line" ... genius.
I was wondering how you were able to keep all the chips in a line while you shrink wrapped them all.

I can verify packaging job is awesome, my chips arrived safe and sound. Best packing job I have ever seen!

Haha, fixed your post mate. Could also have used 'bikkie'

 

[Trihonda]

You spend a lot of money on something, you want it to arrive in good condition. As a seller, I put my name on a deal, and want the items to arrive perfect.

LOL, @Phantom ... I'm so Americanised by TV and internet

Haha , just don't start saying 'candy' and 'jello' and we'll be alright

Don't forget:

Tape the hell out of the box, reinforcing all corners and edges. Even better if you cover entire box with packing tape. Tape tape tape!!

Righto, I'll try to be a more fair dinkum Aussie

Back on track, nice packing idea. I sent some minty Paulsons to CA a few weeks back, packed in cardboard chip boxes but was worried they'd move around a bit inside the box and possibly rub & mark each other or worse. Wrapping in this method would have been great. Thankfully, my chips arrived safely but next time I'll use this method

Be sure to stab it with a fork for vent holes so it doesn't explode.

Wait... that's my microwave dinner. Nevermind.

Huh?

 

[pltrgyst]

Actually, in the US, those are called cooling racks, and the pans they're frequently used in are jelly roll pans.

No need to buy one! Should you have a baker in the house, a baguette pan works as well. Or a chip tray. Or the inside of a common chip case. Or a plastic tray from Fig Newtons. Or a guitar, with the D and G strings loosened. Be creative!

The one time I ever wanted to ship expensive chips and make absolutely sure they were safe, I cut nearest diameter pvc tubing to length, and put the stacks of chips inside, fastening the end caps with tape, not glue! That is almost literally bomb proof. Just don't try to carry them onto a plane...

Those are cool Bill... However, $50 seems steep to ship 500 chips. But I like it for personal shipping/storage.

 

[OklahomaBill]

You can find them on eBay sometimes... I paid less than 10 for one and 17 for a second one.

I use them for storage as they stack well.

I have always stretch wrapped barrels when I send out chips. Never thought to use a rack like that to keep them straight.
