Hello, I am going to be transporting fragile glass/ceramic bird baths in my car. Any recommendations for packing cartons or best place to get them? They are about 2-3 ft in height. Width is about 27-29” Thank you!

    If you have enough room, I would put a thick blanket/comforter on the floor and then more wrapped around them. Fit in other packing - cloths, cardboard, etc to keep them tightly in place. If you need in cartons for delivery reason, check at a local shipping store though those can be kind of expensive.

    HI Laurie,

    I agree with AmAtHome and am thinking about boxes. You might try an appliance store for boxes. There are some items that they sell that might be small enough to put in your bird baths wrapped in comforters, bubble wrap and/or blankets. You might even be able to stuff some pillows under the bowl where it attaches to the pedestal to absorb any bumps in the road. I hope that helps. Wishing you the best.

    I use bubble wrap and tape to protect fragile items.

    I would look into shipping blankets on Amazon. We had some fragile stuff to move around at one point and I was really surprised at how affordable they were.
