best of luck on it arriving safely fingers crossed, have fun!

No luck will be needed. This is going to be crated by the pro's.

Shipping box will be constructed to fit. Cascade will be raised and bolted down so the wheels are off the floor, then rigged in place so it will not move.

Next it will be shrink wrapped and then covered by this Blue Heat Sealed Wrap.
Then crate walls will go up and the insides will be fully packed with padded foam inserts.

Kal promissed he would photo the full unpacking <hint, hint> Kal

Bills not playing around with any chance of this getting damaged.

All builders should do something along these lines, there is only some extra steps involved here.

It would save so many broken units getting delivered to people.

Bills new saying... "There is only one way, the right way" LOL

Yep. Can't skimp on the gravy when shipping especially something of this magnitude and across seas.

Its not just that, well mostly that, but this thing is my baby and it would just be a total waste to not take the necessary precations to make sure it arrived in working order. Otherwise why not just take it out in the back yard and beat on it with a hammer

Yes I did, those are for P55 boards if I am not mistaken, I can use those as well.

But the one for my outdated X58 Rev 1.0 board which is up to Rev 1.6 now is really a pain, at least for me.

<insert small rant about all this> LOL

OMFG don't get me started on GB boards...





And earlier yeah.. I was saying that 100 pounds is the breaking point on shipping from UPS/Fedex to going freight and having it cost a lot. Past 100 pounds shipping weight there is no reason NOT to add 20 pounds of packaging...

(I ship A LOT of stuff so packaging weight always has to be considered if it don't fit in a flat rate box (I tried doing "Flat rate" shipping for stuff I sell on forums... and man its always you California guys that buy it up and Fuchs me on shipping, when its something heavy..)

I ma glad though this transaction is taking place though.. despite the shipping charges.. Must be damn hard to build a monstacade on a tiny little island that is so out there they made a TV series about it called "LOST"

LOL

way to go pro Buck, I've been on the bad side of a few SS shipments.

[Neuromancer]

Yeah if the unit already weighs 100 pounds... there is no reason not to go with a wood crate for shipping...

(100 pounds is usually the difference between package and freight costs)
