Do you keep the box?
#23
I keep the boxes. When I bought my Sweet 16 they told me to in case I had to ship it back. I think it has a 10 year warranty. When I bought a new embroidery machine I kept the box. It malfunctioned and I ended up sending it back for a new one. Was glad I did.

I have top of the line and was told to keep my box. My dealer is also local and have onsite repairs but they said if I ever had to send it in it would be safer in the orginal box with the packing. When I traded my machine in for the latest a yr later it was good for the store to have it in the box for the new owner. They always make sure that all machines (even used ones) have all of the items shown in the book. When I turned mine in, I had every item that came with it and got a great price towards my new one.

Any store that ships frozen foods will have all sizes of foam insulated boxes. They work great for packing electronics, breakables and machines from portable to large. Fill up the space around the item with foam peanuts or bubble wrap. We used many of the foam lined boxes when my DD moved, not one item was damaged.

After reading all these comments and I do have the room, I am going to keep my Janome box. I don't expect any problems, but you never know.
I had a Designer 1 a few years ago and had gotten rid of the box because our condo was small. The problem was I later sold it to someone out of state and ended up paying $150 for shipping by UPS, because I had UPS pack it.
