Tanker4lyfe Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 so i got some rods i want to sell and i have a *** shipping tube. whats the cheapest way to ship it? Quote
Super User flechero Posted September 16, 2009 Super User Posted September 16, 2009 cheapest is probably usps but if you want it there in one piece, I'd say your best chance is with fedex. Of the 3 (ups, usps and fedex) my best luck with rods has been fedex. Don't bother shipping them without insurance... Quote
cidgrad96 Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 I prefer USPS Priority Mail. 2 -3 day shipping. Discount if you buy postage online. If you do have a claim, you can submit it online and it goes directly to claims processing. No middle man (like post master, clerk, etc) to handle it. Quote

Sadly, my personal best usps (fastest) insurance claim was paid in just over 12 weeks. Quote
fishntime Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Have to agree, USPS is the cheapest way to go. Buy the insurance, and wrap some bubble wrap around the rod. Quote
Jake. Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 If you want the rod to arrive in one piece, Fed-Ex. Quote
mphenry Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 I have used usps and so far so good but always pay for the insurance. UPS and Fed Ex probably handle it better. I have shipped about 6 rods and have had 1 that was broke in shipping and luckly I had insurance w/ USPS. Worked out ok but it is a hassle. Quote
