How to post your glider to The Paragliding Repair Centre?

Sylvie


Avoid boxes as the post office will then charge you as cubic weight instead of scale weight.
Equipment posted to us is usually under 6kg and should cost you one way $40 or under.
Make sure you round the corners so it cannot be measured.
If you have a Concertina bag, post it with your glider. Much better for your Paraglider and much easier for us to pack your glider!!
Please write your name, return address and PHONE NUMBER on your parcel.
