Title: packing tubes for shipping
Post by: royc on Oct 17, 2013 at 06:09 PM

Do you have any tips on how to pack vacuum tubes for shipping via lbc? Something inexpensive? I ordered from a friend in Manila and he needs to ship it to me in Lucena. Thanks!

1) Use the original tube boxes

2) Wrap w/ bubble wrap

3) Place in a bigger box filled with styro and/or bubble wrap

4) Seal the bigger box

5) Wrap the bigger box (again) with bubble wrap

6) Indicate "FRAGILE" and "HANDLE WITH CARE" in the box

Good luck!

5751 and 12at7 ang pinadeliver ko. Got it from a friend in manila who has an uncle who has nos tubes. He wrapped it bubblewrap, put inside a hard container, then bubblewrap ulit. Ayaw ng lbc pag sa tupperware baka daw mabasag.
