    Hi-

    I am looking for suggestions on shipping a magnum bottle. Any sites recommended for buying styro shippers or for packaging without a styro shipper?

    Cheers,
    Joey

    Have yet to have problem with a lot of bubble wrap when old delivery materials don't fit. Have avoided having to buy anything new for a long time and a LOT of bubble wrap with a little styro and newspaper does the trick.

    Bubble wrap and more bubble wrap. I find a lot of guys don't use styrofoam peanuts but I do. I line the bottom sides and then fill the blank space at the top of the box with them.

    Has anybody here ever shipped a jeroboam or larger?

    Shippers designed for 5L wine bottles (not a typo, if you buy a shipper for 3L wine bottle, it'll be too short) work perfect for 3L beer bottles. I've shipped several back from California using these and it couldn't be easier.

    That's a lot of wine. Not sure I'd want a 5L bottle of Port, that would take a long time to finish.

    Unless you have a great tasting group to share it with!
