Regarding used corrugated....
No shipper will honor a damage claim is a gun is shipped in used corrugated.
Never heard that before...Geo
I have never heard of this either. Can you give us some source to confirm such a thing? And what is the difference between a good used corrugated cardboard shipping box, and a new one?
And I agree with KY Jon's thoughts on packing a gun for shipping. Always best to ship the gun broken down too, with everything well wrapped and padded. And most important to avoid shipping damage, in my opinion... never use Fed Ex. The only guns I've received damaged in shipping came by Fed Ex. Same for several that miraculously weren't damaged, but boxes looked like they were very carelessly handled. Then there was one last year that showed Fed Ex tracking delivery to my FFL, but the package actually ended up at a Walgreens Pharmacy in another town.
