shipping glass?

[Bandit72]

is there any safe way to get glass shipped? (specifically a windsheild)

Thanks Ryan Olson

A sturdy box and a crap load of bubble wrap.

I would go to a local glass shop and ask them how they would ship it, they may even give you some materials.

I wouldn`t even try to ship one. It will almost certainly get broken.   I took one out of my rental storage unit 3 weeks ago. Put it in the back of my truck, drove 1.5 miles home. When i got home it was broken.  You can get them repro from glass supply places, for a good price, so theres really no reason to ship one unless you are concerned about originality and date code stuff.

Had a few shipped to me, just wrapping it in rags and bubble wrap and of course they wrote Fragile on sides too. All the glass I got was in same condition day before it was shipped, perfect

Had the same thing happen to me last week when I went to pick up my windshield I had at my mothers house for the GTO I just picked up. Lots of glass availible through PPG now.

I always try to sit the glass over an old tire with no wheel in it, seems to absorb bumps pretty good that way. Had a windshield make it 150 miles in my truck this way.

I got mine through the auto glass shop locally. PPG ships it to them professionally and I just picked it up from the shop. Cost around $150 for a PPG windshield.
