I need to ask for your guys help here! I need a flight out of my location to another one by airplane.
Ever ship a sewing machine? What works for not tripping the machine?
I do have massive experience with mailing things, I would assume that the best way would be...
*A huge box filled with peanuts and the machine wrapped multiple times in bags, one bag on the outside being filled with peanuts so the peanuts in the box also help sponge it in. And marked as fragile, USPS being safer with mailing.
I was thinking about bringing it as a personal item on board on the plane, however, they require you to put all personal items under the seat in front of you D:
Am I still risking my machine possibly being tripped during shipment this way?
*Is repairing a machine that was tripped about $100 roughly or more?
*Would it be fine to try and use the machine after it arrives to see if it works or will needles fly and loud noises happen? LOL XD i'm so scared of that!
Would it just be best to purchase a new machine in that other area?
