    Cute :slight_smile:

    So combed over the site, but didn't see any shipping options. What say you?

    Edit: OH! Shipping the empty/unused boxed to you is free. Sadly, that is of no help to me.

    I shipped 20 bottles once. 10 bombers, 8 12 oz bottles and 2 500mL bottles. I sent a 12 bottle styro shipper in a massive box, filled the shit out of it with shredded newspaper, packing peanuts, styrofoam, whatever packing material I can find so the shippers wouldn't move. Then I bubble wrapped each 12 oz bottle and put them in groups of 4 in a large ziploc bag. Put those in between the shipper and all the packing material. Put a big styrofoam sheet over the entire box and sent it off. Made it from California to Iowa. 48 lbs. $50.

    I sent a 55 lb box from WI to CO last summer. Big double walled box, 3 feet of bubble wrap around each 12oz, 4 feet around each bomber, some peanuts, tons of crumpled paper, some stryofoam sheets, as much soft packing material as I could squeeze in.

    After shipping I thought maybe I should have split it up into two boxes, but I also thought a realky heavy one would not get thrown around, unless some guy in the warehouse felt like risking a back injury

    If you can get gorilla shipper 12 bottle boxes you should be able to do this with 2 total boxes easily. The double thick cardboard hasn't done me wrong yet and they aren't too pricey. Better than breaking a bottle and having to resend.

    Cheers!

    I sent a 50lbs behemoth of local goods from VT to WA in a single box. There were two boxes (a case of 750s and a 500ml case to hold smaller format stuff) inside one larger box. It's doable, but the stress of that thing being in the mail probably took 3 years off my life. Ymmv.

    Cost was $50 to ship it.
