Need a box large enough to ship bumper
Tried Tischer and the other car dealerships in the Silver Spring Auto Park with no luck. I have a buyer for my stock pdc e92 bumper who is willing to pay shipping but without a box there will be no sale. Anyone have an idea or better yet have a box. Willing to travel and pay a small fee for it.

Go to their off-site bodyshop... i.e. Mile One Collison Works in Beltsville, that is Tischer's bodyshop The boxes new parts are shipped in are big and sturdy, just what you need |

Get a couple of wardrobe boxes, open them on both sides, and tape them together. Or got to a UPS store and have them pack it for you.

just bubble wrap it, go around it like 4-5 times...it will not break...i've shipped bumpers like this before...a box will cost you a lot of money to ship...just bubble wrap it and call DHL to pick it up...mine got from here to cali safely...
if you must, go in the back of home depot..by the recycle bin, find the box they use to put the huge BBQ grills in, and take it...there are some boxes big enough to fit a killer whale inside, you'll find something....but bubble wrap is easiest

those bumpers are very flexible and I once sold mine to a guy who folded it in half and stuck it in his C320 trunk. the next day it was still in great shape, so i know a box won't protect it any better from getting crushed. protecting the paint is the main thing and a bubblewrap/tape job will take care of that.
