<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 1163881, member: 13650"]I can't believe anybody thinks shipping them with a common carrier would be a safer choice than hauling them with you in your own trunk! Lets see:</p><p><br /></p><p> Your trunk- Carefully set in place by you, they ride the couple hundred, most likely gentle, miles, straight to where you're going. You arrive. You carefully remove them and set them at their final destination.</p><p><br /></p><p> Common carrier- Drop them off. They get thrown in a truck. Driven to nearest hub. Dropped off with millions of other boxes. Some guy making 10 bucks an hour throws them on a conveyor. Hopefully they don't get lost in the warehouse. Then they're thrown on another truck or plane to be handled at the next hub with risk of getting lost and thrown again.. Etc.,Etc...</p><p><br /></p><p> Take your chances of staying out of a car accident. This answer is too obvious to me. If they're in a trunk, nobody's going to see them. If they can be seen in a wagon, cover the safes with something. If small enough, put under the seat. This is no big deal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
