I've avoided selling sticks in the past because it seems like a pain, but I have some I need to get rid of. From what I've read, the best method is to just bubble-wrap them with two layers on the blade and cover with something like a trash bag.
My plan was to do the bubble wrap and then cover it all in the plastic wrap that is usually used to hold material on a pallet together since I have some laying around.
1. Anyone else ship like this, and have you had any drama with damaged sticks or problems with USPS?
2. How do you figure the dimensions since I would like to prepay for these and print my own labels. Use the total length of the stick and determine the girth using the blade?
3. In general, what does it cost to ship a stick domestically via USPS in the US? I'm not planning on asking a lot for them, so I don't want to bother if the shipping cost is outrageous.
Thanks!
