Shipping playsets???

[Prince_Sunbeam]

Haaaalllp

Anyone know the most efficient way to ship big playsets? Specifically G1 Dream Castle and Paradise Estate?

Im loaning out my collection for a film project. The props manager has a company FedEx account so thats the preferable shipper.
Is it more cost effective to go with fewer larger boxes? Or more smaller boxes?

Any general advise?

If you can take them apart with a heatgun/hairdryer- do so.

use TONS of padding foam bubbles, make sure the pieces cannot shift about.

UPS is by far the cheapest for the size you are contemplating.

If the items are too fragile/brittle or there are a LOT, you could consider getting a pallet  but that gets really expensive
