How to Ship Paintball Markers Protect your investment and save yourself some trouble. Spend a little extra time when packaging a marker for shipment. Many markers are damaged in route due to improper packaging. Ground shipping causes the most damage due how many times the box is handled. 2 and 3-day air is the safest method. A small piece of bubble wrap or a handful of Styrofoam peanuts is not enough protection for the abuse it will take during transportation, as you can see from the pictures below. We receive at least one to two markers a week in this condition.
These owners were very lucky the barrels weren't damaged.

Allow at least one inch margin on all sides of the marker.
Leave extra room near the barrel and back end of the gun. Use only bubble
wrap or the preferred dense foam for filling the empty space. Cut a piece of
cardboard the same size as the inside of the box. Punch a couple of holes in
your insert for zip ties and a large hole for the direct feed. Now secure
the marker to your insert. Place a layer of foam in the bottom. Next comes
the insert with gun attached. Tape any loose parts to your insert to keep
them from banging up against your gun. Then place the last layer of foam on
top and seal it up. The idea is to get enough protection to survive a
two story drop. And "No you shouldn't drop your package to test it "
