Acceptable shipping??
I have a rather long piece to ship, and it really isn't fragile . It's the steel dash with little pad from an old car. Can I just wrap the ---- out of this thing in bubble wrap and tape ? A taped up pile of cardboard covering it sure as hell won't prevent anything ... I want to just cover that bitch like crazy , will UPS accept it? and do think it is thoughtless to do so?

When I get weird shaped ---- that needs to be shipped, I cut up boxes and tape the ---- out of them around whatever it is. The box looks like a clusterfuck when I'm done with it, but it gets where it needs to be.
