[6pack] shipping a hardtop

[n197tr4 at cs.com]

If you ship a hardtop off shore, there is another step.

International crate shipping means that the wood has to be certified.

This done by processing the wood with heat high enough to kill any organisms
lurking within.

(If your declaration says it is an automotive engine, inside, it really gets
complex.)

After all that work, it's very hard to throw away a wood crate that has 'birth
certificate'.

    My experience was pretty favorable. Got my hardtop via motor freight, but
I
ad to take the SUV down to the terminal to pick it up.
   When I got their, the sent the fork lift into the terminal and brought it
ut
o my SUV. The seller had crated it very neatly, such that I felt bad when I
ealized the crate made it too big to fit into my SUV. I had to pry the crate
part with a screw driver and toss the top into the SUV by itself. The freight
uys were very nice and helped me pull the create apart so that I could get at
he top.
   They asked what it was when they saw it, so I explained it was a factory
ard
op for an old British car. Anyway, got it home just fine, but the create was
estroyed. Too bad, the crate was very pretty.

I'll vouch for that and, if that pallet/packing is heavy the (Yellow
rucking) driver has NO obligation to help with it.
TDT not with a hardtop.
