Bring the rod to us and we will ship it UPS for you. It should be about $25.00 to 30.00 including insurance. Call me at: 732-223-5353.

Take it to the post office Priority mail with insurance should be around $20-30. I shipped plenty rods through USPS never had a problem.

I use a schedule 40 pvc pipe from home depot and take it to USPS. not that expensive and never had a problem.

Go with Fedex, its the cheapest. I ship a lot of rods all over the US and both USPS and UPS charge stupid fees because its a round tube and not a square box. If you need a tube, try any of the big box boat stores or even some bigger tackle shops, they sometimes have a tube or two that their rods came shipped in. Even Shakespear antennae tubes work nice.

Thanks, I have a rod tube to ship, I was just concerned with who is the most reliable so that I won`t have the hassle if the rod is broken by some miserable worker who hates the world! Thanks I will ship tomorrow with either fedex od ups ! Thanks again!
