Title: What is the best way to ship a stave????
Post by: backwoodsguy on October 05, 2020, 10:38:03 pm

I started out with a pretty simple trade with "Kidder" for his broadheads. In return he was to get some mammoth ivory and a pair of copperheads on a contingency plan. The copperheads didn't cooperate. It got too hot too fast and they must have become night creatures. So instead I'm sending a Osage and Ironwood stave from Texas to Washington State. What's the cheapest shipping method for six foot staves? What packaging is needed (bubble wrap, cardboard, heavy paper)? USPS? FedEx? UPS?

I wrap the whole stave in clear plastic wrapping paper, looks like Saran Wrap looking stuff. stick a label on it and ship USPS. Never had a problem.
