Oriental
What the best (and cheapest) way to ship a large Oriental Carpet?
I wanted to send it freight UPS, but they said it’d be almost $700 to ship! Its about an 8×11ft oriental that weighs about 70 lbs rolled up. Also, do I need to get a box or do you just use plastic? Where can I find one that big to fit a rug in?
it depends on where are your going to send the carpet.
i have some experiences from my friends whos is dealing with oriental carpets business:
they roll up very tightly and put the carpet in a plastic bag first, why? the plastic is water-proof and will keep the carpet ” dry”, otherwise, you are going to have a big problem if it is wet. then covered by another plastic pouch ( like the bag used for shipping rice ). this will protect the plastic bags and carpets.
then you could gave it to the shipping company and send it to the place where it should go if it is only one pc. normally, the shipping company should put it into containers. this will cost you much less than ups.
