I agree with above!
Some fragile stickers always help!

conclusion of todays discussion:
1. suffocate facia with large amounts of bubble wrap
2. frankenstein a box together (few staples here and there
3. write fragile in size 400font across each side of box.
effin sweet. haha. thanks guys. i was just afraid to make a box cus i thought that someone wouldnt appreciate that. (but hearing from other ppl i guess as long as its safe, it doesnt really matter)

Most of the time whenever I saw a bumper getting shipped to a dealer they just warp it, dont' use a box and thats it. Thats how an extra R/T bumper that I bought off ebay came to me a few years ago.

Nope, it really wasn't even bubble warp, just a white plasticy type wrapping. BRR should know what I'm talking about as I believe thats the same way they ship the bumpers to the dealers if I'm not mistaken.

When they ship fascia's through the mopar truck is one thing Vs shipping through UPS,greyhound etc...
I would have just went to a local collision shop and asked if they had any extra fascia boxes or wraps laying around, most shops dont mind giving it away since its there garbage your cleaning up.
