PROPERLY WRAPPING / PACKAGING YOUR ITEMS
When
shipping expensive motorcycle parts by either your Post Office,
UPS, FedEx or any other shipping service, be sure to wrap them
securely so they don't get damaged in transit.
DON'T FORGET

Bad wrapping can result in lost or damaged parts arriving to APE.
Here's a gallery of some packages we've received. Believe it or not, there were no missing pieces in any of these packages, and all damage was repairable. |

THIS IS HOW TO PREVENT LOSS OR DAMAGE TO YOUR ITEMS
 |
1. Wrap your part in plastic and tape the part
securely, so as to guard against any type of moisture the part
may become exposed to in transit. |
 |
2. Use a material that will provide more than
ample cushion for your part. We recommend using plenty of layers
of cardboard. |
 |
3. Using cardboard and strapping tape, create
a "cocoon" which completely encloses your item. If
you are shpping multiple items in a single box, create a cocoon
for each item. |
 |
4. If shipping a crankshaft, for instance, put
cardboard on the ends as shown. |
 |
|
 |
|
 |
|
 |
5. Place that cardboard cocoon in a container
(a sturdy cardboard box will work just fine) that is of the size
necessary to accommodate the cocoon, but is large enough that
you can use additional packaging material, such as newspaper
or styrofoam popcorn. Pack the packaging material around the
cardboard cocoon enough so that the part WILL NOT MOVE OR SHIFT
in transit. |
 |
6. Before closing
the package, please be sure to include a note that includes your
name, address, phone number, the work that you want done to the
part, and method of payment. Or, click here to print out a work
order form to include in your package. |

7.
Be sure to properly close and tape seal the shipping container,
preferably with a good shipping tape and then wrap the box, length
AND width-wise, with strapping tape. |
