i have 3 rods to ship VIA POSTAL SERVICE.., where can I get the shipping
tubes, any recommendations, TIA

Go to any carpet/flooring store. Ask them for the tube that the carpet is
rolled up on. I duct-tape the ends shut with the rods bubble wrapped
inside. I've only had one tube smashed shipping rods this way, and that was
done by UPS, not the postal service. The nice thing about carpet tubes is
that they usually are 12 feet in length, and you can cut them to whatever
length you need. I would recommend that you allow 2-3 inches space on both
ends.
