Need to post 4 shocks to my bro-inlaw in gold coast - If I compress the shocks so they are not as long will there be any damage done to shock absorbers being compressed for a couple of day's??

Pete.

I cant see a problem man.. they are deisgned to move throughout the entire travel.. and theres not even any weight on them.

Thats how they sit in the warehouse from the time theyre made until the time you buy em

Not air freight I hope.
They don't like pressure vessels.

There should be no problem, if you have ever purchased shocks
from TJM or anyone similar, you will find most of them have plastic
strapping keeping them compressed in their boxes.

It is actually illegal to send shocks through the mail, as they are a pressure vessel, and thats regardless of whether its going air or surface mail.

I have, however, handled shock absorbers in the mail. Mind you, I have also handled ammo, drugs, and all manner of other things that are not supposed to be in the mail.

They should actually be stored compressed to prevent the shaft from getting surface rust (which will then stuff the seals when they are used in a vehicle.)
