[T2] Shipping jalousies

[David Kelly]

I shipped a set too. I started by making thick sturdy cardboard corner protectors and taping them on.i used a couple of thick sheets of cardboard sandwiched between each window stacked on each other. I believe I used  several sheets of the large bubble wrap that amazon uses to wrap each side of the windows. Everything was held tight together with lots of packing tape. Once everything was padded and protected, I wrapped everything with a cardboard box that I had cut down and sealed everything up with tape. Good luck!

I think I used 2 or 3 inches thick at the ends and corners.  Lots of packing tape too.  I did not remove the glass or anything like that - figured that if they could survive for years in a moving bus that they could stand up to most anything when shipped except for being dropped, or maybe poked with a forklift tine.
