last time my brother got a cymbal online it came in a huge thin box. but i don't know where you'd find one of those, actually. hit up a fed-ex or ups and bring the cymbal lol. maybe they'd have something.
WAIT NEVERMIND YOU CAN JUST USE ANY OLD BOX

You're gonna need a box slightly wider than 20".

If you're travelling just put it in your suitcase, provided your suitcase is that big...If you're just shipping it, I like the Pizza Idea and also you could just throw it really hard like a Frisbee!

Just throw it really hard. Given the right draft it'll likely carry.

EDIT: god dammit somebody already made that joke. I suck. :picard:

I'm pretty sure you can just stick the stamps right on it. I saw a story of someone doing that with a shoe and it got delivered. That way you don't have to worry about the leftovers from when you cut a square box into a circular box.

i do it all the time when shipping stuff to various places. as long as it's wrapped up nicely, it'll all work out.
