Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

When I traded my '01 cab in for an '04 from the same dealer, he told me when he moves the '01 he'll call me to pick up the hardtop. He never did, and now he told me I can sell it. What is the most practical way to ship a bulky 70lb item like this, and how would some of you pack it?

POST 2Original post

US Postal Service??? oops, Im from CANADA, EH!!!

POST 3Original post

When I moved I wanted to drive the Porsche and be able to put the top down. I built a crate for it and lined it w/stryofoam.

POST 4Original post

A subject near and dear to my heart... When I bought my 99 C4 Cab, it did not have a hard top. I picked up a used black top locally for $500, but it was the wrong color. A few weeks later I noticed a red top for sale, and found out that it was the original top for my car. So, I put the black top up for sale on ebay, with the note that it must be picked up locally. Well, of course somebody bought it in Colorado, and I did end up shipping it. I first crated the top, but calculated that it would cost about $400 to ship and I would have had to provide either a loading dock or forklift at pickup and delivery locations. So then I wrapped it in foam insulation and very stiff cardboard, then encapusulated it in clear plastic wrap. You just have to make sure that all sharp corners are double reinforced with cardboard. Weight was just under 100lbs. Shipping ended up costing about $150. I used freightquote.com to get the lowest rate.

POST 6Original post

Call fed ex. I made a mistake and used another shipperand the top was in peices. I think they will help you out alot more than anyone else. Might even be able to help crating it.

POST 7Original post
