Hi all,

Anybody here have experience shipping pre-built cabinets, with ~20U of routers and servers installed, connected and tested, to remote sites for deployment?


Not pre built cabinets, but I have shipped/received over $1,000,000.00 worth of gear (routers/switches/desktops/servers) all over the United States utilizing FedEx.

Packed everything with lots and lots of foam peanuts and shrink wrap, with standard pallets and crates. Never had an issue.

Checkout FedEx Custom Critical.... pricey but excellent (used them to ship something same day once..... that was really expensive as it required a dedicated aircraft.... but when you gotta have it as close to right now as possible, they fit the ticket). :)
