VMAR - Packaged to Survive - What we do.

Question: How does VMAR package ARF's so that they have the best possible chance of arriving in one piece after weathering the hazards of todays shipping systems?

Answer: Good question. No matter what we do, there is a chance that someone will drop a V8 Engine or a box of 400 bricks on a shipment and crush or damage something. We don't run UPS, FedEX, DHL or any other shipping outfit but we work closely with them when designing our packaging and shipping boxes.

In summary:

  • Each component is individully bagged to keep it clean and reduce scuffing
  • Each bag is then secured between dividers and/or taped down inside the display box.
  • Double decker display boxes have internal bulkheads and single layer display boxes have multi-ply dividers
  • The entire display box is then closed off with a lid and inserted into a plastic bag to protect the label against scuffing and to protect against water damage in transit
  • The bagged display box is then inserted into an outer shipping box.(may not apply in markets outside the Americas)
  • 2mm plywood shields are then inserted on both wide sides between the bagged display box and the outer shipping box to add even more resistance to crushing. (Americas market only)
  • All in all, nobody in the ARF industry makes the kind of effort we do to ensure that a VMAR ARF arrives in the hands of the end user in perfect condition.
