Hello hive! I have an autoclave (24x18x18, 75lbs) that is at an office and I need it boxed from there and shipped to the Memphis area. Seller does NOT have a box or any shipping materials. I've called Mailboxes of Kent, DHL, UPS Store(s), etc, and cannot find anyone who will go to the location and box it up for the seller to ship to me. Anyone know of a professional service company who offers this service? If you're in the Kent area, is there anyone I'm not seeing on the internet that might offer this service? Thanks, I know it's an incredible longshot but I've seen Sigmas miracles happen before... ________________________________________________ "You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom.

I have used Yellow Freight (now Roadway Yellow) for similar items along the East coast. They have had contact with other companies that will build crates as needed. Do not know if they are prepared to provide that service in West but worth checking out. You've got to know what to do when you don't know what to do. | |||

Check with a U-Haul service and moving center in or near Kent. They'll lead you in the right direction. Jim ________________________ "If you can't be a good example, then you'll have to be a horrible warning" -Catherine Aird | |||

Thanks to both of you, both places gave me a solid lead on getting it boxed on his end. I thank you and the critters thank you. ________________________________________________ "You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom.

Maybe a moving company if you still need something. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

Just a consideration for you: If you take care of the boxing up and shipping to you, I think you may have accepted the product as is. I'm just thinking if the product doesn't work upon arrival, the seller can say, "Hey, it was in good working order when the buyer's agents went and packaged it and shipped it. So I don't know or have any responsibility for what might have happened during the packaging by the people he hired or the shipping company." Just a thought. I have a natural skill of figuring out where things might go wrong. The only downside is I haven't attempted much to date in my life. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."

That's a reasonable point Rey. I've attempted to contact the seller to get a firm answer on whether his 60 day return policy will be intact if I send him pics of the item upon arrival. So far no reply. ________________________________________________ "You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom.

When my company relocates me, the movers hire a subcontractor to crate all manner of things. For example, my BGE was crated in Anchorage and shipped to Calgary, used 2 years, and crated and shipped to N. Houston. It's slightly bigger and slightly heavier than the OP's autoclave.
