Default Sending Engine blocks by Courier

Has anyone sent or received a set of engine casings by post/courier?

Given the size etc what’s the best way to wrap them up and prepare them for a safe journey?

Cheers

Thanks for the reply.
I was of the thinking a pallet would be the best way. Sadly don’t have access to a pallet or strapping which makes me wonder if it’s worth the hassle selling them.
Anyone know of a company that would help in this matter or is it going to be down to me before a courier will touch it?

Cheers

a set of bare blocks is around 25kgs depending on how you package them and we send/receive lots of them every week...............

we find the large courier boxes from the likes of UPS are ideal for this

Yeah. Used paisley freight before. My concern was how to prepare package prior to pick up for delivery.
Cheers

Have you already sold the blocks Frank or are these going up for sale?
I could be interested.
