Default shipping rods

Priority Mail is the biggest rip-off the postal service has to offer.
Parcel post with insurance is more than adequate.

You can use PVC pipe available at any building supply store. Or if you

can
scrounge a tube from a carpet roll this will work. Anything 4" to 6" in.
in diameter. Use heavy card board to cap the ends. Wrap the rods in

bubble
wrap to extra protect them.

And if you must send them VIA POSTAL SERVICE, be sure to at least spring

for
Priority Mail with insurance. It will cost a few bucks more, but it's

worth
it.
