Here's the deal, I have an octagon shaped box, with a heavy object inside, that needs shipped to the west coast from St Louis, MO.
The item, and box, both need to be well protected.
Measurements are 30" high, 23" at the widest points, and 21" flat side to flat side.
It's the vintage 18" WSM going to Chris A.
Amazon shows shipping weight for a modern 18" WSM at 50 lbs.
I'm sure this weighs more since the box is pretty heavy duty.
Any and all ideas welcome. Source of a suitable box, best shipping method, etc.
FedEx has a 28" double wall cube box, not sure if it could be customized to work.
I thought about checking with Lowe's or HD for a reusable box.
Thanks in advance!
