Being the part is very fragile, I'm sure it will break being it's an oversize part. I feel in the long run people will complain of the cheap/poor packaging.

That's why it's best to get INSURANCE while shipping.

the bubble wrap was actualy a joke, but a poster tube style thing is perfect.

About the box for shipping. Go to a carpet store and ask them for their old tubes from the inside of the carpet rolls. They are happy to give them away.

Sorry, a mailing tube will not work due to the bend in the part.

A box in the size of 12"x4"x54" is required. As of now, still no luck.

You could take a 54x48 piece of cardboard, fold it into a triangle, and cap the ends... filling it with packaging peanuts or whatnot. Honestly, if the price for shipping was $30/more... it'd still be worth it.

I agree, even if the cost of shipping and the box were $30 it will still be good. We like the part and want one. Also, doesn't the part flex a little? If it did it would slid right into a tube.

Hey griecos xb, BTW, Sorry! Never meant to jack your thread.

BTW a box has been found and with a few mods will work out fine I think. Now, just waiting on the parts to be completed.

Orataro, why not start a thread about this part and let people sign up for one of your eyelids?

I don't want to start a post until I have them in hand and I'm happy with them. And, being I am not a sponsor with this site, I can not openly sell them on this site. So, most likely I'll just place them on my eBay auctions or eBay store. Then again, it doesn't cost much to become a sponsor on this site.
