Shipping

[darren paget]

Just called Emery Worldwide Delivery and for $1000.00 Canadian I can
ship the back of the couch here. This is really starting to bug me.
Looking for more help. Thanks Darren

You have to double the width and double the depth. This gives you a total
of 147 inches plus whatever type of packaging is involved. The dimension
can be reduced by wrapping the piece in a very heavy plastic such as vapor
barrier material. ( or 10 mil. I believe ) but it is still too large. The
only solution I can come up with is to remove the arms, but I don't think
this is a good idea. Check with your friend and see what comes of it. If
they will ship it, send it please. Darren (always calm )

I don't think they come off. I believe the are welded on. Not too sure though. Jim
Bounds didn't think taking them off was a good idea. Darren

Mike in Anitigonish, why don't you go on a cross country trip zigging
down to the states a couple of times. You can pick up and deliver
couches and captains chairs and probably collect a good dollar for doing
so. I know I would give you "A" good dollar for dropping one off here.
I'm sure others would pay at least that much. Don't forget, A good US
dollar is worth Ten here. Darren

Sounds like a reasonable solution.. Unfortunately I don't have a couch to check
this out. If you know or if somebody is competent enough to tell us, could this
be done. Maybe a welding or machine shop could tell you. I don't know if you
would be loosing any strength in doing that. If it works let me know. Darren

I don't see cutting the arm as a problem. I am planning to recover the couch any
way and I can always wrap the arm in material. It may even be a smaller package
with the fabric and foam off any ways. Darren
