Shipping a bow

<< < (2/3) > >>

Pat B:
I've used PVC pipe with end caps and ship USPS Priority Mail. That way is gets to the destination in 2 to 4 days and with fewer hands touching it. Don't worry about insurance, they won't honor it for selfbows or backed bows unless you can prove how much it is worth...which you can't in their eyes. I've always had very good luck shipping bows USPS Priority Mail.

Muskyman:
It’s funny that I had thought about both ideas   PVC tubing and also thought about ripping some plywood I had left over from a shed I built earlier this year. Also figured I’d write fragile all over it as well. I think I remember a commercial about package handling that showed a gorilla throwing packages around and destroying them. Good ideas all around. Also thought I’d wrap the bow with bubble wrap real good before I placed it inside my container. Also thought I’d cut some cardboard strips to cover it before the bubble wrap. I’m going to do all I can to protect it for sure.
Thanks for the advice.

Foam pool noodles and some tape.

hammerstone:
Inside the tube of course

Muskyman:
I like that idea too. Never thought of that. I might see if I can find a few of those.
Thanks hammer
