Members troubbble Posted September 26, 2005 Members Share Posted September 26, 2005 How hard is it to ship pedals and stuff? ... Yeah, I've never had to ship anything bigger than a piece of paper in my life. I have some stuff I'd like to get rid of (at pretty good prices, too), and I was hoping somebody would give me instructions. I know that there's something about going to the post office, but that's about as much as I can figure out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Noise_Princess Posted September 26, 2005 Members Share Posted September 26, 2005 Wrap it in bubble wrap, stick it in a box (so it doesn't move around), write address, go to post office, pay postage (priority is fast and cheap), go home, have a beer with a loved one.

Members Armoredfist316 Posted September 26, 2005 Members Share Posted September 26, 2005 What do you need to know? Are you planning on selling on here or on ebay? What do you have to sell? People sell stuff around here all the time so if you have questions, then ask them, but try to be more specific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're probably right. Can I just use any box, or do I have to get a special one. Do bigger boxes costs more, or is it about weight? I don't want to wrap everything up all perfect just to find out that they won't accept it or something. And where do I get bubble wrap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To start off I'm going to sell my pod xt, my snarling dogs wah, and my teese rmc3. I want to sell them here a bit under market prices (ebay is way too complicated for me, and I'd rather give you guys a good deal). I just don't want to go through with it if it's a big hassle because I'm kind of lazy. I'm such a n00b And if everything goes well I should have some other stuff to get rid of too.

Members Noise_Princess Posted September 26, 2005 Members Share Posted September 26, 2005 Postage is by weight. Box big enough to fit pedal and bubble wrap and nothing else. Steal bubble wrap from work. Or buy at Staples or similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members troubbble Posted September 26, 2005 Author Members Share Posted September 26, 2005 Oh, wow. Good thinking. I can steal boxes (and maybe bubble wrap) from work. Okay, I'll put up some spam tomorrow if I'm not too tired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't want to go through with it if it's a big hassle because I'm kind of lazy. I'm just such a n00b OK. Shipping probly wont be more than $10 to ship within the cont. US. People usually include shipping in the asking price around here. You can use any box to ship in. I usually just use boxes from things i have bought. If you ship USPS priority, they willl give you free boxes. You dont have to wrap it in bubble wrap or anything super special, but make sure its secure and safe. I usually use some packing peanuts that came in something i bought. Alot of packages i get just have crumpled up newspaper around the pedal. Then go to the post office and write the addresses on the priority mail sticker, pay, and you are done. hope this helps.....if you have any ?'s let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members capnbringdown Posted September 26, 2005 Members Share Posted September 26, 2005 You can really reuse your packing material that you got other pedals in. Also, rolled up newspaper works well. At the very least, alot of people have styrofoam that things were put in boxes (like when you buy a new monitor or tv and there's styrofoam in the box to keep it from moving/breaking), basically, you can just snag that and use a knife to cut it too size. It gets to be a little messy doing it like that, but it works. I don't like the people who just wrap paper around the actual pedal box. If you're including the original box, put it in another box (a postage one), so there's actually some security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
