I don't think I'd trust anyone not to drop it and snap bits off!

In a plastic crate with foam all round and over the top, masking taped in place. strapped onto a pallet.

I had no problem like that.

Thanks for the suggestions, offers, I was asking for a guy at work, he bought a blackbird engine off ebay, complete but when it arrived it was bare, seller said ancillaries where sent via a different courier, yea, you pay to ship a pallet and put other bits in a box n post em ?

Anyhow he his returning the engine for refund, hence question, funnily enough the engine is already back on ebay "complete" ??? and I know for sure its still in workshop waiting to be picked up tomorrow, £28, pallatways.
