how do i ship a flywheel

The pizza box is a great idea, as well as wrapping the flywheel in some kind of cloth or other material. I use carpet padding a lot!! I would also go the extra mile and pack it in a "box-in-box" method of putting one box in another. Make the second box larger by enough to surround the first box with 2" of styrofoam packaging. I buy 2" styrofoam sheets 4x8' from Home Depot for $11.75 and keep it on hand for such packaging. I'm sure everybody is aware, but no shipper will insure a claim unless the item is surrounded by 2" of packaging material, and I hear UPS is going to a 4" minimum!! Geof
