Good thing another team let us use an extra airbill they had laying around.

Elgin does this include the base cost for your 2nd crate also, because otherwise the quick 10 second calulations shows the amount you were over weight would be almost half a ton...

1. Does your crate have a function besides being a crate? Containment zone for frosh.
2. Hidden codes all over it.
3. Something either very plain-or very fugly outside. But just durable, weight is not a problem.
4. No
5. 3 yearish.
6. 5 minutes before we ship.
7. Broke it up or reused it.
8. Everything imaginable-Pit-Scouting-Cheering stuff-anything.
9. Im pretty sure we went over-to what extent-not quite sure.

No, we "lost" the paperwork for one of our crates I believe. At $1.25 or $1.50 a lb. for ~900 lbs. to ship it it turned out to be in the vicinity of $1200.00 to ship the thing back home. Like I said, we were lucky we found someone in the pits at the last hour who had an extra free shipping papers we used. (thanks to great neighbors.. lol)
