Re: Lessons From A Delivery Guy: Planning

Thanks for your service JV1997! Lately I have developed a real fondness for foam insulating board. It's available, inexpensive, easy to work, it can absorb a lot of impact, and it adds very little bulk or weight. You might consider using it on the tops or sides of pieces, it can prevent a lot of damage. The safest way to ship glass is removed from the piece, wrapped in bubble wrap, and shipped in its own padded box, preferably placed inside a larger piece. If you need to leave the glass in you might want to cover the entire front with foam and then put your plywood on top of that. If you happen to be around when they put on the blankets put a sign on it that says "GLASS" in as many languages as you need. Who knows, someone might read the message and give your piece some special care.
