Folding WW Lips for shipping

Is it safe and possible to fold a lip in half? How much would a lip get damaged if it's bended? Please help. Thanks.

A lot of shops bend them to ship them in smaller boxes, mine came in a full sized box, but i've seen pics of peoples' on here that had them folded, urethayne is very flexible and will spring back to it's original form in a few hours, laying it in the sun helps too. I dunno about folding it in half, but you can at least fold the ends in

don't bend the lip too hard if it's painted...after a while it'll develope cracks (the paint) and when you un-bend it, it's gonna look trust me, i just had my lip repainted ($$$)
