In Reply to: Shipping Vinyl in a Moving Truck... From Phoenix, AZ to Portland, OR posted by thegoodtimesarekillingme on August 5, 2005 at 09:40:44:
Get a larger truck than you need and put the boxes with the vinyl in the front, under, say, a mattress and jeep them tightly packed latterally. Do not stack them on top of each other. If you must buy or rent shelving. The vertical weight in that heat means warp city! The extra volume inside the truck keeps overheating down.Finally, if you can, drive at night and shelter the beast during the hot part of the day. Over thirty years ago I learnt the wisdom of moving in the late fall or spring, and vinyl was one of the main reasons.
Frankly, I don't even have vinyl purchases shipped to me in the heat of the summer. Years ago the International Preview Society did that and, as long as the postman left the package out of the sun, all was well. The Society, it would seem, knew what it was doing. Current eBay sellers do not.
Your chances of getting out of this unharmed are about 30%. And that's if you follow the precautions. Especially in a place like Phoenix. If you don't follow the advice and nothing happens to the vinyl I would like to inherit your rabbit's foot!
The truth ain't always pretty, I fear.
Good luck!
