Shipping rods

[DJD]

Thanks Bob, I will do that. I want to take about 4 rods for me and my girlfriend to use. I'm going to check on what it cost to ship the reels as well.
I will insure these badboys because that could get expensive if they get damaged.

Don USPS is the way to go. I ship a lot of stuff and they are by far the cheapest. I sent some jigs and ups and it was like $16.00 the same jigs usps is less than $5.00. Lessoned learned.

I have shipped a few blanks and rods. PVC pipe to protect the rods. USPS was the cheapest route. Cost will depend on the length of the rod. You can probably get an idea of the price by checking the USPS site online. If you need a tube to ship a few rods, I have some extras here that you are welcome to take. I would take the reels with you. Easy enough to put in luggage.

I had a rod delivered by united parcel, the tube was bent. My advice, get a piece of pvc pipe. I used pvc for my rods when we were trailering.In my opinion its the safest way to go.

I've done both. Some years ago I baggage checked a PVC rod tube, and it was fine. Flew Southwest and it didn't cost any extra then, don't know about now. If you ship, use PVC instead of cardboard.
