In this packing session, I skip filming orders for the first time in almost a year… and immediately get hit with the worst shipping challenge: a big, awkward “display guitar” with a fake whammy bar and no guitar box. 😅

You’ll see how I piece together a custom long box, add styrofoam + bubble wrap the smart way, then double-box it to survive a long trip (North Carolina) without paying a ridiculous shipping bill. Plus: the final weight, dimensions, shipping method choice, and the real profit breakdown from the day’s sales.
