The tube had been opened from both ends, they somehow managed to snap off
the 1st 4" of the rod.They had the gall to ask if it could be repaired.

In ten yrs. of shipping rods across the U.S. this is the 1st to come back in
pieces. Can't believe UPS is being so ignorant about it . They broke it, and
it's insured .Case closed in my book.If they weren't so convenient I might
seek an alternative shipper.

As to their being the #1 purchaser of St. Croix rods, show me the figures.
No shipper could stand those loses and stay in business.

I use schedule 40 PVC and still had UPS snap the tip off a rod last
week

That's gotta be some serious manhandling to snap PVC like that...maybe
it was driven over by a Big Brown truck? (Apologies to anyone here who
works for UPS)
