Sometimes I need to ship large personal items, I'm not a business. My job is working at a pump manufacturer and I've palleted much heavy equipment. I'm a firm believer in heavy duty overkill when it comes to packing and crating. I've seen plenty of bad crating and packing jobs at my place of employment, I know objects in motion tend to stay in motion. Anything not nailed down will take a trip to the junkyard!
