[Shop-talk] Shipping a gearbox

[Pat Horne]

+1 for Fastenal. I had a 5 speed OD transmission shipped from Georgia to Texas. It weighed almost 200 lbs with the crate & cost $125. 

Quite a good deal. 

Peace,
Pat

I shipped an MGA gearbox from North Carolina to Idaho using a Fastenal truck. I attached it to a pallet (used, available for free). For shipping overseas, I'd build a box over it. The pallet makes it easier for the shipper to move it.
