Shipping a trasmission help

[jghall6]

Shipping my 200-4R from Georgia to New York (Turbo Buick Performance) and need some ideas on how to do it. Thanks.

Make sure all the fluid is drained out of it, cover it in a plastic bag and strap it down to a pallet.

Or.....Take a little time and build a box out of plywood. That way it's protected a little bit on the way to and from. Hopefully they can send it back in your box too.

I build a box to ship it in everytime.

go to walmart or lowes and get a big rubbermaid container and put the trans in it and zip tie it to a half of a pallet. Make sure the top is covered or ups will send it via truck freight and it will cost a ton.

I'm trying to avoid the expensive truck freight charges. Thanks.
