Getting some shipping rates on an 18. Will a 20x20x12 box work for an 18 with the legs and triangle?  Can anyone comment on Greyhound station to station shipping? They look like the cheapest route to take.

I wonder if it'd be possible to find an Ace or a Home Depot -let them set one up and give you the box.

I don't know anything about Greyhound.  Just watch those lid edges and handles!

20x20x12 works perfect for an 18 with triangle and all

I've gotten the best rates with FedEx.  If you setup an account with them the pricing is a little less then if you get a quote through the web site with no account.  Further, if you have company account the price goes down again.

I recall @harris92 having some sort of issue with a kettle getting stuck along a Greyhound route because it didn't fit in the cargo bay of the bus at a transfer point.
Wanted: Burgundy 18"

@Neil_VT00 that issue was with a much bigger box should not be a problem with a 20 20 12

FedEx was cheaper for me as well, used the company account to get it cheaper. Size of box doesn't matter as much that way either.
