Shipping a Built Model Kit: Best Shipping Carrier?
ScottsGT replied to Dennis7423's topic in General Discussion
Build either a wood crate or buy one of those hard cases from Harbor Freight if it will fit. If you must pack it in cardboard, double box with packing peanuts supporting the inner box. If you can support the airframe in spots where things won’t break off. Attached packing to either other packing materials or taped to the model will work best. The packing materials moving around inside is what causes damage. -

It’s a good practice to study up on links like you provided. Confusion within the system promotes scammers (DHL) to profit off the uninformed.

My daughter runs the ropes course at a camp in VA. They had to order new harnesses from Canada last month. Paid in advance. The shipping company charged them a huge “tarrif fee” before they would hand them over. I think it was DHL. I think some of these companies were tacking on huge “collection fees” because they can get away with it. I told her to refuse the shipment and tell the sellers to find a new shipping company, but they had guests arriving the next day and needed them then.

Duck arrived to day with no fees.

IKEA use to sell a CD display case that you could fit in between 16 inch wall studs. The 1/18 Diecast car guys were stocking up on them. Of course with my luck I found out too late after they were discontinued. With CD’s going away with everything in the cloud now, so did the shelves.

I have the new Lukgraph Duck on the way right now. No mention of it so far. It’s from Poland if I’m not mistaken. Should be here next week some time.

Nice! I contacted a vendor that offered the correct nose cam pod to build Steve Ritchie’s plane. Problem is, he has it in 1/48. I asked about rescaling to 1/32 and he wanted me to pay the redesign time to scale it up. Panel line corrections, rivet sizes, etc. Big nope from me. I have no idea what was involved, but I’m sure it was going to wind up costing 3 figures.

Fantastic pics of some amazing builds! B-24’s were impressive.

I’ve often posted this about aftermarket, but ditto for kits!

I had a USPS package caught in a “ground loop” last week. When I started looking at the times it looked like it was on a conveyor belt between two buildings going in a circle. Like a luggage conveyor at an airport. It was something like 15-20 entries in the tracking, all minutes apart. I’m waiting on a package right now that was supposed to be delivered this past Thursday. Now it’s just “Your package is arriving later than expected, but it’s on its way.” Probably sitting out in a US Mail semi trailer in a parking lot waiting to be unloaded. Hope this one doesn’t have 10,000 baby chicks in it like the one last month.

Mine above your post is still crystal clear.

I’ll just say it, Zacto gud ‘nuff for me. I have one more kit for my D model. I don’t get much more into detail like the Reskit offers, but it does look like beautiful work for those willing to put the effort in. My adult ADHD won’t allow it.
