I got billed extra for just a plywood box by UPS. They told me the cardboard
is to keep drivers and distribution apes from getting splinters!!!

Thanks everyone on the reflector and direct , I have all the good info
needed to ship .
Jim , I'm not sure why but Fedex web page says if chip or ply board is
used , it must be put in a cardboard box .
Thanks All , Ed N5DG

Why does it matter what it's in? Plywood would work fine. Put some rope
handles on it though and make sure the plywood box wont come apart.

Subject: [Amps] Shipping a heavy HV Transformer
I'm selling a HV Transformer and have questions on the best way to
pack. The transformer weighs 85LBs and is approximately a 12 inch cube .
At this time I have it bolted to a 5/8 inch plywood pallet.
I know Alpha and Acom ship their transformers in a heavy duty cardboard
box . I'm not sure where to find a heave duty box ? I could use 3/8 or
7/16 plywood plus wood screws to build a nice strong box but I'm
thinking UPS or Fedex wants it to be in a cardboard box ?
Your thoughts and ideas are appreciated
