Need to ship some unboxed pins and trying to figure out what is the best option for straps. Would you recommend ratcheting nylon tie downs or polyester plastic tie downs using a poly tool to tighten the straps? Freight harbor carries the ratcheting nylon tie downs but not the poly tie downs. Any recommended source(s) as to where I can buy these? The poly tool can be quite expensive. Hoping the ratchet tool is a good option to go with. Thanks in advance.
I use actual ratchet straps. Like $8 a piece on sale, so I grab a bunch. Two of those to strap a pin to a pallet and it's not going anywhere.
Quoted from jalpert:That pallet is way too small...
Maybe but you can't say the packaging isn't done right.
Agreed, I used (my older) ratcheting straps. Here's how I shipped my MM. I even zip tied the legs to the pallet as well.

Great packing job!
