| Hello all. I'm in a bit of a conundrum and looking for some options. Long story short, some of my collection and I are apart. Now one option is driving and picking it up, but that's rather far and expensive. Is there a trustworthy method to have say a long box or two shipped? I'm not sure how i would package it, nor whom I should trust, UPS, USPS, Fedex....? Has anyone ever done this before? Is there a good way to do it, or am I SOL, and have to wait until i cant transport it myself? I'm deathly scared of how the courier would handle it, even with all the fragile marking in the world. Opinions and insight would greatly be appreciated. |

| Box in a box and use bus service (Greyhound??) I've used them in the past for large car parts so risk of damage was minimal but the box had no markings/blemishes on it and shipping was relatively cheap - just takes a week or two |

| How valuable is the collection? What condition is it in? I'd be reluctant to ship a long box without making very sure that the books were protected. If the collection is with someone you trust, can you have them ship a priority box at at time? |

| its nothing too crazy but its nice books, not drek thats for sure. Piecemeal-ing it out like that would be possible, but too time consuming and the price would be much higher obviously. I really dont know what to do | ||
