We use double walled corrugated 70"X34"X11" boxes to ship them in. The carpet is suspended inside the box with corrugated triangular divides and any excess space is padded with bubble wrap. Our cost for the boxes alone are over $15 each. (This doesn’t even include the other necessary components mentioned or the cost to pay my employees to pack and prepare the carpet for shipping.) I think our shipping containers are overkill and more than adequate. I am sure we could continue to go bigger, stronger and more expensive but how much should I expect my customers to pay for shipping and other associated costs?
Ok,so far so good.Now how about a guesstimate to say CA,or MA.since you are in MO,close to mid point in continental U.S.Shouldn't be hard to do.You are probably oversize other than truck freight or Greyhound.With surcharges increasing on everything being shipped with the current economy situation I think this is something everyone would question. I guess this is kind of like woodworking,measure twice,cut once.Check on shipping cost before saying send me one.
