Long story short, registered for an outdoor grill for my wedding a few months ago. Came from Amazon and we didn't realize til after it was assembled that it's a Natural Gas unit instead of Propane (same instruction manual for the NG as well as LP). Wife called and spoke with Amazon today and they said we could ship it back for a gift card, which we could then use to buy the correct Propane grill, but they said it has to be in a cardboard box.
The catch is, we no longer have the original packaging as it was pretty torn up.
They said to box it up assembled and they'll have UPS/Fedex pick it up, but I'm thinking it's going to be too big/heavy/awkward assembled to effectively box it up without the box getting fucked up in shipping.
So what are your thoughts? I'm worried if I disassemble everything, it'll still end up all scratched and dented in shipping since some of the parts are pretty heavy and it might be hard to effectively cushion everything without spending $100 on bubble wrap.
