has anyone ever shipped a soft top?
« on: July 28, 2006, 06:34:37 AM »
i was just wondering...if so, what carrier did you use, and how did you package it up?

i was thinking of boxing it, putting it on a skid, and shipping it freight because my work gets a good discount with certain carriers.

anyone else have a better idea?

I've shipped my soft top through Delta Air for a decent price before.  Freight wasn't available.  I ended up wrapping the frame and top with cardboard instead of finding a box big enough to put it in.  It shipped fine.

I shipped one recently using UPS Ground and put it inside a cardboard container I had sitting around.  No frame, though.
