    I used Fastenal to ship a Koban…. HOW the motor is packaged makes the difference.
    1/4 inch plywood sides and top, 2X4 vertical supports and you can place a value on the motor, let us say $500. When the motor arrives, it will be obvious if the sides have damage, open the crate on site and determine if motor was damaged. If no damage great. but they will NOT cover damage if the crate is not completely covered. Also shipped a 35 hp Lark same procedure…. make sure it is covered completely and take photos when dropped off at the store for reference. Bit of advice, over value the motor …..

    Regards
