[R-390] Heavy Duty Large FedEx Shipping Box

[Glenn Scott via R-390]

These boxes look like something I may consider buying for some of my shipments. I have 2) Thermodyne Shock Stop boxes that I lined for shipping something the size of an R390. However, FedEx Ground fees are about $77/leg in the US. If I send one to a client who sends his unit in for restoration and I send it back to him at which time he ships it back to me is 4 legs and comes to a little over $300. Usually the client sends his unit in via his own packing which I return. However, some people have no problem expensing the extra shipping fees to be assured of safe travel of their equipment.


These Kubox boxes may be worth looking into. I would want to use one large enough to allow 1" Styrofoam panels to be placed on all 4 sides, top and bottom. However, I would find a source for a plastic banding tool to band the box tight. Anyone know a source for a plastic banding tool.
