By large I mean by area, not [necessarily] density or weight. Preferably something that isn’t collapsable or capable of being easily disassembled. I want the delivery of the item to be a major pain in the ass.
I signed up for it and didn’t tell my husband. Wish me luck. Haha
Sweet jesus save me from this driveway FULL OF LOGS
I’m not a homeowner, don’t plan on being one any time soon, and have zero use for their services, but damn am I sold by their “Why CHIPDROP is probably NOT for you” promo video. That’s advertising gold, right there.
Just get one to your apartment. I’m sure the landlord will love it
We got this, and I did actually use it all but my goodness. They drop it in the driveway, it can’t stay there. I moved it in the wheelbarrow for a day, then my husband and stepson worked it for a day, then we asked our lawn guy if he knew anyone who wanted $300 to move the rest (as honestly after moving half of it, it looked the same size!) and he sent us a strapping country boy, like a caricature of a farmboy, who moved the rest of it to the back, then I distributed it where it needed to go.
It’s neat that that service exists, but you can also call up local arborist companies and ask, or wait until one is chipping a bunch of debris at a neighbor’s house and ask the truck driver in person.
How much do you want to spend? Used shipping container?
You shouldn’t think big, necessarily, you should think heavy. Postage to be paid on delivery.
Lead sheet in a return envelope is a great thank you for unsolicited application offers.
In that article 1 of 11 images is still available. Everything else is gone. lol
Tbh I looked just hard enough to find one not about faeces, didn’t look too hard at it.
You can order packing peanuts for ~$5/ft^3 and some places will do free shipping over a certain value. There are also decorative balloon bunches, though I don’t know about price there.
Liquids would also work. Heavy, sloshy, awkward, etc. and you don’t want to drop them because it’d make a mess.
What do they pack them in?
They pad the packing peanuts crate out with brand new furniture.
Tobias, from accounting: The shipping department is the only one running at a loss. Why is your department ordering so much furniture?
Thomas, Shipping: How else are we supposed to make 1 ft^3 of packing peanuts fill a box big enough to destroy the spine and sanity of the UPS driver?
Tobias: Why would you want to do that?
Thomas: It’s part of the departmental vision statement. The company has one. Why can’t we?
In themselves, of course!
By area activated charcoal has a ton of surface area
2.5k€ for a house in Italy still sounds like a pretty wild deal tho
Tap for spoiler
~(its probably not, unless you are very aware of what you are actually getting yourself into!)
Whatever you end up doing, OP, you owe us a pic or video of the result!
Bouncy castle
If by area you mean then buy a bottle of paint or even better, exfoliated graphene! Or graphite, that also has football fields of surface area in it. If you mean volume, then a very large hot air balloon may be an inexpensive space filling purchase.
Can’t you buy stars on websites online
that only really buys you a piece of paper that says: “you own this star”.
otherwise i guess i could sell you the universe for 1 penny, which would make for a fun answer to OPs question.Deal! sucker
This comment is so good I’m going to sell an NFT of it.
I know this one, it’s skin!
Air, cuz it’s free, and by size the biggest object in our planet
No way, at all. The Earth itself isn’t air and has WAY more volume than the atmosphere.
True, but land costs money depending on where its at. Water, could be a close 2nd but for the price, you can’t beat free.
Can you still buy a star? Obviously dubious that you actually own it. But certainly bigger than anything on earth and a bit tricky to deliver.
€29 for a star.
This reminds me of an old Reddit writing prompt that I got a good chuckle from. Something along the lines of “humanity discovers FTL travel, and is invited to join the Galactic Federation. The federation goes out of its way to accommodate incoming species, and part of that intake process involves respecting existing legal structures and contracts… They just realized humans have been selling stars to each other for centuries.”
And they owe a lot on back property taxes.
Bedbug ridden camper with no axles. A tow company with a flatdeck could easily load and unload still, but if you got it delivered while they were not home it would be a nightmare. Bonus points if it’s an apartment complex and you can put it in their stall.
a dictator’s massive ego
I don’t think you’ll get far with very little money.
