Shipping Skydiving Equipment

A friend of mine is selling a rig and shipped it to me for inspection and a repack and all of that. After his post office visit, he sent me a text letting me know it was on the way and added that he was surprised it cost so much to ship. After picking it up, I can see why.

Here are some tips when shipping your equipment back and forth to dealers, riggers or potential buyers. I'll try to expand on this more in depth at another time.

1. My preferred method is the United States Post Office. I've always had good luck with them. The prices are competitive and the services and customer service have been consistent from Florida to Arizona, Hawaii, Washington, Oregon and California. FedEx and UPS are fine. However... they will leave the package pretty much anywhere they can find a door. I have a Post Office box here in Toledo. When a package comes to me, It goes to there and I pick it up whenever I want. I know where its going to be and nobody is gonna run off with it.

2. You DO NOT have to claim hazardous materials when mailing an AAD. That only applies if the battery is outside the unit. I confirmed tis with the Postmaster.

3. Try to use a company box when shipping an AAD.

4. Use the shipping cost calculator for whatever shipping provider you use. You can't do much about the weight of a canopy or rig or helmet, but you can do something about the package size. Get it in as small a box as is possible. It's often worth cutting a box down to size to fit. You could easily save twenty or thirty dollars just doing this one thing.

5. When shipping a rig or canopy... put it in a plastic bag and seal it up with packing tape. Those clear bags that the manufacturers use are the best, but a green garbage bag will do. This is far more important than a bunch of newspaper or bubble wrap or packing peanuts.

To my rigging clients...

When I work on your skydiving equipment, I use this custom checklist/information record. After I'm done with the work, I tuck it into a flap on the rig. Make sure you take a look at it when you get it back. Besides the check list I use during a typical reserve repack, it contains information that you may need down the road. Such as manufacturer info for all the parts. So if you lose the free bag on a reserve ride, the serial numbers, sizes, etc are there. Makes it easier getting the right replacement parts. I also include information on issues specific to that pack job that you might want to know. Things like the ripcord pull force or how many reserve rides are on your canopy. If you're going to need service on your AAD or the reserve needs to be sent to the manufacturer for inspection... it will be noted on this card. Stuff like that. I'll let you know the big stuff personally. But it's always good to have a written record of it. And I took the good time and trouble to write all this stuff down... so humor me and read it every once in awhile.

Thanks...
