the irons are first removed from the cabinet
then they are disassembled.
drawers are removed to secure individually
Then the head is shipped in one box, the cabinet in another, and the irons in a third. (If there is a coffin lid it ships SEPARATE (never put head inside coffin lid)
When I ship Irons I put a layer of cardboard, then foam, then iron part, tie the irons to the cardboard with soft string(punch holes on either side of iron at arch tie point) then next layer of cardboard, etc until done.
