RIETSCHA !!!!!! . . . . PROBLEM!!!!

If you were wondrin' about the title, just imagine Blazek holding an empty flask at 11:00 in the morning.

I tried to buy Bike Shipping Boxes from U-line.  The Price is fantastic, $5.83 per box for a minimum order of $29.15.  It's a good deal.

But, the shipping charge to get the boxes shipped to my house is $90 for ground freight via Pitt-Ohio Trucking.  The damn things are apparently too big to ship via UPS.  Anybody have any suggestions?  I have calls in to my Local Bike Shops to see if they have any old boxes - You may wanna do the same. . . . . .

  1. RIETSCHA! Solution!

    Oh the irony. We trick Blazer into coming back here for some duck pin bowling in late august. Uline has a warehouse just outside of Bethlehem...

  2. Can't they just fold them in half?

  3. Side note: is Scott taking his bike or renting? Has he reserved a bike? Does he have a box (did he buy his new bike online or lbs)?

  4. I have a box.

    The reason we stopped using Uline at work is because the shipping charges on everything were ridiculous.
