Well I just picked up my 62" Mohawk up at the Post Office.     Vince mailed this bow out in a HEAVY 3"  PVC Tube. When I grabbed it from the Clerk I noticed the tube was Cracked!!!       You can't make this stuff up!     Bow is fine but it's like someone jumped on it to see if they can break it. Folks please be careful shipping your pride and joys!

now, just imagine it was shipped in a cardboard box instead of that pvc tube .......

If you have damage w/ a USPS shipped insured item, always file a claim. You'll need the insurance receipt and evidence of value or cost of repair. I had a bow damaged 3-4 years ago, sent it to Black Widow for repair / refinishing, submitted a copy of the repair bill and USPS reimbursed me w/ a check in about two weeks. It can even be done online in some cases. Here's a link w/ better info:

The last two bows i shipped were packed into a wooden box i made myself.  Even that would not have helped if speared by a forklift.  PVC is the way to go if you can fit the bow into it.
