  14. What is a "naked" shipment? How will this affect my shipment? 
    A "naked" shipment is delivered without packaging or padding. We do not load items into the shipping container without padding as items shift and move around during transit. If we need to package, crate, or palletize your shipment there are additional costs. A crate and pallet will also add onto the shipping dimensions, as we measure by space taken up in the shipping container. Please call (808)762-0399 and we can explain further.
