We get deliveries from most carriers each day. They all know where we are so just use the one that you feel most comfortable with.
Remember when you are packing your cylinder to use a box that is plenty big enough for the whole consignment, and be sure to separate all the parts using newspaper, cardboard, rags, or something similar.
If you are including a piston, don’t be tempted to put it into the bore thinking it’ll be safe, because the bore is probably damaged anyway!
If you are sending more than one cylinder, it’s best to put each one in a box alone as described above, then put each of those boxes into a bigger box taking care to put plenty of packing material in as well so that the cylinders can’t bang against each other in transit.
If you really must use polystyrene “chips” or “peanuts”, put each cylinder and each piston in a plastic bag or a small box first. We understand that the carriers try not to damage the packages they handle but it does happen sometimes, usually due to insufficient packaging being used.
If you live locally, feel free to bring your cylinders in person…
