Saddle sold what to pack it in??

[jessfinnsmurf]

Suppose should have hought of this before it sold but thought it wouldn't

i have sold my saddle on ebay and dont how to pack and the most cost effective way

and ideas welcome thanks

I would wrap it in some bubble wrap or put it in those polystyrene lumpy things to protect it and then just put it in a box that it fits nice and snugly in so that it doesnt move around too much or get damaged whilst in transit!
Hope this helps!

Saddle trees can get broken in transit, so bubblewrap it and box it and stuff the gaps with scrunched up newspaper or more bubblewrap, but also try to support the saddle as tho it's on a saddle stand--a half-box on edge underneath it should do--does that make sense? :}

When I sold my Wintec, I went to the local dump and found a fantastically sturdy cardboard box that had been used to pack a TV in previously. I wrapped the saddle in bubble wrap, and padded out the rest of the area with polystyrene chippings (that I had from another parcel) and newspaper and bubble wrap.

I used Parcelforce - lot easier as I booked on line and they collected, saving me lugging the enormous box to the post office! ;D

I sent a saddle in a box that just happened to be just the right size and packed newspaper in all the gaps and bubble wrap around it . I marked the outside fragile on all sides in very large letters too.

It's not to do with the packing, but I've heard Staples (the office suppliers) will send any item for a flat rate of £8 as long as you can lift it onto the counter (best to enlist a strong man for this)!
