Shipping a Backstage Steadicam cart via FedEx
What the thread found
- FedEx Freight or cargo service with pallet placement is a viable shipping method for Steadicam carts
- Backstage offers specialized shipping boxes designed for their carts, available through direct contact with the manufacturer
- Steadicam carts can be shipped via FedEx without boxing, though components may occasionally arrive separately from the main cart
- Contacting the cart manufacturer directly provides shipping guidance and may reveal cost-effective options
Depends on
- Experience reported is anecdotal rather than systematic
- One instance mentioned a shelf arriving separately despite strapping, indicating potential damage risk
- Shipping costs and availability may vary by location and time
- No detailed information provided about optimal packing methods or insurance requirements
