How to ship a marker!

[Stilgar]

A very big box showed up with six very well packed markers!

Best shipping method I have ever seen!

Nice packaging, but I think you also wanted to flash the Gargoyle...

[Stilgar]

Hehe. Yes

[Carp]

6 markers Holys**t, I bet shipping cost was brutal!


Edit...Also jealous of the Gargoyle!

The MOSTLY gargoyle!

Oh would you look at that. That’s the 2nd Garg UC kit I have seen. Very nice!

Wow, very nice! Beautiful Garg. And definitely worth the handling cost. Just received a tipx from a seller here that was missing pieces and the box was open. Oh, and no air fills or bubble wrap at all. Guess he figured the vest would cradle everything nicely. Ugh. To be fair the marker and mags were in the XL case, but so were 2 fully filled 13ci tanks.

You should see if you could package it up the same way and ship it to me. Just to see if you could do it and all.
Very nice by the way.

Short of the plastic, this is how I try to ship markers. It hasnt failed me yet.

Only time Ive ever had a marker get damaged in shipment I attempted to use the nova pack bags (my mistake) and one must have popped from an impact. Once that happened, the marker was able to shift taking more packs out. Eventually it poked a hole in the box and got beat up a bit. It was a mint superstock too, so the rammer was what got banged up.

Since then, its been the zip tied spine board like this. every time.

This is similar to how I ship too. Only I use high density foam instead of cardboard if I can get any scraps from work. They use the stuff to ship expensive meds to my office. I figured if it can protect a half million dollars in drug, it can protect a paintball marker.

you lucky SOB's.

i normally go through the work of making sure there is no chance of metal to metal contact (like the Garg' but without the zip ties). but most of the time i receive a marker, its loose in a box side by side with the barrel and a baseball size crumple of newspaper haphazardly tossed in there.

Damn, I gotta get back up to OTT.

[Stilgar]

Yup!
