Quiet_Hollow Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Yup, I'm interested in a pair of factory cardboard boxes and associated foam packaging for La Scalas. I'm about a week and a half out from logistics and figure I'd pimp the forum first, before ordering materials directly from Klipsch. If you've got the boxes, and they aren't absolutely destroyed beyond service, I'd be inclined to take them off your hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongo171 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I thought Klipsch doesn't sell shipping boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budman Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 i talked to klipsch last week about buying k-horn boxes and they said NOT and referred me to craiters & freighters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiet_Hollow Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 Thanks for the heads-up guys. That's certainly wasn't the case 8 years ago....bummer. Still interested the packaging for the interim. Would rather help someone clean out their place, if so. [H] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 If you can't find the correct boxes, you might use a pallet. Styrofoam between and around the speakers and stretch wrap. Cardboard reinforce where the straps contact the corners. I've had great luck that way. This went from TX to OR without a scratch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I got my La Scala's, they were crated on a mini pallet each and had cardboard all around them. They arrived safe from South Carolina to San Diego.

ricktate Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I think best to use 2 pallets stacked so forklift driver not paying attention does not run into object as easy. I worked in factories all my life only takes a second to do damage and usually its bad. Just my 2 cents. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They arrived looking like he had just wrapped them up and had not even moved them out of the garage. He did state he had put extra screws unto the pallet.....................Taz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricktate Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Yea extra screws is good idea they always break when loaded down and forklift driver not all the way under the pallet. Another reason to use 2 pallets it puts the speakers above the rest of the load in a truck so when loading and unloading the other pallets do not scratch the speakers.

Quiet_Hollow Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 All packaged up and ready to haul out. Ended up using hardboard, bubble wrap, some strapping tape, two pieces of foam insulation, cardboard edging, and a healthy layer of stretch film. Looked something very similar to Carl's load shown above. I'm not shipping them, just moving them cross country. I'm loading with a hand truck and doing the driving, so didn't need to fork-proof or palletize them. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
