Aluminum Intake Shipping Weight/Cost?

Late to the party as usual, but keep in mind any insurance claim that might result from a badly packed box is not going to get paid. Regulations for all shippers (including the USPS) mandate that the item(s) being shipped must have at least 3" of collapsible materials on all sides in order to be covered by the insurance.

At no extra cost, Priority Mail includes $50 of insurance and UPS includes $100, but FedEx does not include any unless you pay for it.
