I've used an upright clothes moving box in the past.... doubt it would fit in a honda either. May have to transport them not boxed up until you get to where you're going to mail them and then box up.

Hi goody03 -

Wrap the flanges and tip ends in protective rags and bubble wrap etc - and then use strapping tape to tape the whole thing together - nesting it carefully to minimize the size of the system - and then take it to DHL and ship it off - no need to box it - buy the insurance if you want to protect against damage to the system.

You should be able to send it for $15.00 0 $20.00

best regards -

You can try Grey Hound also. They are very competitively priced for shipping.

Hi goody03 -

Cool!

I have met several people that are local through this forum.

If you have not been around here for a while, it has really changed - the I74 corridor is all 6 lane through Peoria, all the ramps and bridges are new and re-designed.

There is a new bridge south of the I74 bridge.

THe old CILCO substation on the east side of the river is gone and it is a park and wal-mart / shopping center now.

Lots of changes.....

best regards -
