I'm faced with the problem of shipping an XM-240. I don't have the original boxes. I live out in the boondocks and containers are not readily available. Suggestions welcome. 73, Roger _______________

Hi Roger, Check to see if there is a box-making company in your area. They typically will sell raw cardboard in 12 x 6ft sheets. Then you can easily make a triangular box by folding and cutting. 73,

Roger, if you can't locate suitable cardboard you can make a carton with pieces cut from a 1/4" plywood sheet, 1 X 1 and wood screws from Home Depot or Lowes. Shouldn't take more than a day to do tha

Certainly there must be some place to buy boxes. U-Haul, Home Depot, etc. You can tape multiple boxes together to make them longer. Another option is go to a concrete supply house and buy a Sonotube.

You can always ship in PVC pipe. I recently bought some 102" CB whips on Amazon that came in PVC pipe. You can usually get away with the thin wall sprinkler version vs Schedule 40. Rick N6RK John KK9

If you have a siding supplier they have boxes from siding. They are usually 12 foot long. Also places that sell gutters. Mike Certainly there must be some place to buy boxes. U-Haul, Home Depot, etc.

Carpet stores usually can provide the large tubes that carpet comes wrapped on. As long as the shipping company doesn't try to fold them in half to make them fit on the truck. :>) 73 Gary K4FMX _____

The best shipping container you can get for this is free from your local carpet supplier/installer. The hard tubes that carpet is rolled on are usually 12 feet long and 4 inches diameter. Cut them wi

In my misspent youth I worked in a carpet store. The roll tubes are designed to allow lifting a heavy roll of carpet, sometimes 140 square yards or more without punching through the inside of the tub

Look for S&D PVC pipe. S&D is sewer and drain pipe and is much lighter so cheaper to ship. Most big box stores have it at least 4 inches in diameter. Patrick NJ5G Rick N6RK On 6/5/2016 10:22 AM, john

Patrick NJ5G In California, they don't use PVC drain pipe in construction; it's all ABS. Retail big box stores don't sell PVC S&D. They don't even sell 3 and 4 inch schedule 40 any more. I only know

Problem with using round pipe is that they charge an extra 'handling fee' for shipments that aren't stackable. I used to run into that problem when I did a lot of eBay at the shop I worked in. They t
