Shipping halfstack advice

[cowardm]

I'm not sure which forum this could go in, but this isn't an ad, it's question. So, in the near future I think I'm going to sell my LB (this is not an ad, but if you're interested we can talk). It's not that I don't like it and Jaded Faith's mods on my Blackface and SL+ have been fantastic. I'm sort of wanting to downsize and also find a little more of a clean oriented amp. Without further justification the questions:

1) How the heck do you ship this big thing? Like any tricks or thoughts or advice on that? Finding a box, getting it shipped, etc.

2) Anyone know what shipping this thing will be like costwise? The cab is a 2x12 with a 1x15 and the head is a 100w LB head.

Part of the reason I haven't listed it is my huge anxiety of shipping.

Get cab and head boxes from a dealer.... I think a Peavey head box will also work for the MTS head.

Layer of bubble wrap around.

Stuff the head full of bubble wrap, so the tube don't come out, and wrap it in bubble wrap.

Shipped lots of heads and combo amps with no issues.

TRACK IT AND INS IT!

Don't use UPS

AMEN!

USPS/Canada Post have been very good to deal with...
