Polar Tech746T Top Load 6 Wine/Champagne Bottle Foam Shipper

I little more bulky than I thought they would be.

These offer great protection. The top and bottom portions fit nicely together. I placed a couple of shopping bags over each bottle with a rubber band around the neck of the bottle. I sealed the two foam portions together with a great deal of tape and then placed the foam inside a large garbage bag in case a bottle should break. The cardboard box that these foam inserts came in was a little wimpy--single wall cardboard and with about a two inch gap along both sides of the foam. Rather than trying to find a double-walled box of the appropriate size, I filled this void with packing materials and used plenty of tape to re-seal the box. I'm confident that this will give good protection to my wines during transport.

Awesome quality styrofoam - very well built. Unfortunately, this doesn't come with the right sized box... The manufacturer offered to send me the box for free, if I provided them with a shipping account number, which I gladly did. $60 later, I received two boxes intended for shipping this $11 styrofoam, which were the wrong size! Unhappy camper. Great if you're not trying to ship anything.

Even though this item was suggested as an "add-on" to my purchase, this item did not fit the wine suitcase and returning it was really not an option as the shipping cost was almost as much as the item itself.

These things are pretty heavy duty, but the biggest deal for me is that a proper size box to put them inside of was not included. Instead I have a very oversized box that seems to be too flimsy to hold the weight of the bottles. Now I have to search for a box. Never seen a wine shipper come without a matching box.

I'm sure the styrofoam will protect the bottles, but these are huge! They take over 3/4 of the largest suitcase allowed on an airline.

I live in state with insane taxes on booze, so when I travel to state that doesn't I send one of these head of time time. Buy some bourbon and scotch and then check it on the return flight. So far it's stood up to the handling or lack of handling of the baggage guys. I use the box it arrives in, sometime you'll have to put some bubble wrap or newspapers in there to keep it from bouncing around in the box. If you're planning a trip to Scotland, Ireland, Kentucky, or Napa you should probably send one these to wherever you're staying.

The insert is good. just as you'd expect and GREAT for shipping wine or beer (750ml or 22oz bomber). Problem enlies is that the box is significantly oversized. After a few months use, we moved on to a better, lighter, and more accommodating method, but still this is a good option.
