Default Bullet proof packages

I'm shipping an A/B downdraft manifold and carb via FedEx ground. Here's how I ship stuff and have yet to have a problem. This is a 3 gallon Rubbermaid container and I drilled 8 holes through the lid and container lip. Then, I used wire ties to secure the lid. Buying containers that you can secure in this manner is cheap insurance. Works great when you're sending something to be repaired and you can include a return shipping label.

I have received several shipments from Dennis packed like this...absolutely no damage to parts, everything safe. This is a really good idea for shipping.
