    I think he is asking about packing for safety and not so much which shipping or freight method.

    The only Grabber hood I shipped I went and bought some of those water weeny float things or you could use pipe insulation and wrapped around all the edges then I used some bubble wrap and old blankets to wrap it in.

    After it was all wrapped up then I used some of that clear shrink wrapping stuff and wrapped it up with several wraps, made a nice clean padded package.

    I wasnt responsible for getting shipping company for it, buyer had them pick it up from my doorstep, it weighed 50 pounds

    Local pickup is always the safest. But limits your buyers.

    Like Barry said, Greyhound or if you crate it up, R&L Transfer does a good job. thats hard for me to say, I work for Ward Trucking, east coast carrier and hate to send business to competition, but the coverage for R&L is 48 plus states
