Anyone recently got a replacement lid for a Genesis Silver/Gold/Platinum from Weber or is getting one? I am looking for the packing material since I need to ship two lids.
I will of course pay for shipping me the boxes with all the packing inside. Please don’t throw them away. Thx
 
Stefan I just received a new black mica lid for a Gen Gold and I kept the box. And you’re welcome to it. — But I’m in Chicago. The size creates a shipping dilemma. My local fedex pack&wrap store just quoted me $117.00!! He said however that 30x30x16 boxes are a standard and you should be able to find one in your hometown rather easily. Do you have a UPS or FedEx retail store nearby?
 
$117??? Ok that is crazy. I will check for 30x30x16 boxes then myself. Yes I have UPS or Fedex stores nearby. Thanks for checking.
 
All the carriers now charge a minimum rate depending on the box size. A 30x30x16 box through UPS will be charged at 107 pounds even empty. To make matters even worse, an empty box will get crushed when a heavier box lands on it and then be useless.

Even if you were lucky enough to find a free box locally that has the corners and braces for that lid only one will fit.
