Shipping a Motor
I am getting ready to ship my motor to PQ for their upgrade. Not sure how to pack the motor for shipping. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Re: Shipping a Motor
I just brought mine to UPS and they packed and shipped. Cost me $14 if I remember right for packing and shipping was around $45. I live in New England.
When I received it back... it was in there purple box with tons of paper and cardboard especially made to keep the spline and electrical wire protected from being damaged. |

Re: Shipping a Motor
Good idea. I have a UPS store not too far away that I could use.
Thanks! |

Re: Shipping a Motor

Re: Shipping a Motor
It does not fit in the one rate boxes I tried.
I got a HD box from Uhaul 12 x 12 x 18. I cut heavy styrofoam for ends & sides. I wrapped motor in small bubble, bubble wrap and made extra cardboard protection around lugs. I shipped UPS. Cost $38 to ship. Also I have heard about folks getting the motor company to ship an empty motor box. These usually had a molded blown in foam packing. M |

Re: Shipping a Motor
I would recommend checking with fed ex also. I have recently learned that fed ex is way cheaper than ups for shipping larger packages. Ie, I've been shipping 1/5 scale rc cars, they weigh around 35 pounds, in a box that measures 30x24x18 inches, ups was costing me around $55.00 fed ex was $22.00
