    Selling 8" Power Poles and Need Ideas On How to Package and Ship

    I do not have the original boxes to ship the poles in or the brackets. Has anyone on here done so and how did you package them without damage?

    8" Poles should just fit in a shoe box.

    I work at ups. Been boxin up shit all day. Lol. My suggestion is get a long box, or 2 longer boxes that you can wrap together. Like 12x12x12 and wrap 3 together length wise. Use large cell bubble wrap and wrap tightly. Also, wrap the pump and lines in plastic bags so any left over fluid doesnt leak out. If they see a leak it will stop progress. The only other thing you can do is call a couple dealers around and see if they have any boxes from power pole left over from customer orders.
