Mailing broadheads???

[Mike Vines]

Does anyone know the proper way to mail broadheads?  Is it OK to just put 3 of them in an envelope, and stick them in my mailbox?

I had stone points sent to me that way, but a small box would be safer.

If they are 2 blade I like to ship them taped into cd cases.

I'd wrap them in newspaper or paper towels and mail them in a little box.  They'll cut through an envelope I'd imagine and end up on the floor somewhere.

[Mike Vines]

Wow, believe it or not, I never thought of that.  Thanks for the advice and insight.

I just received 6 in the mail a few hours ago.  Each broadhead was in a small ziplock bag. All six bags were in a semi-clear hard plastic snap case.  The snap case was wrapped in foam paper and mailed in the smalles UPS mailing box.

I've shipped them in a bow.  The heads were wrapped in newspaper.  They were 3 blade heads.  I'm assuming the arrived intact as I never heard anything bad from the recipient.

2-blades: taped to cardboard
anything not flat: stick them in a block of packing foam, and then in a box (or just wrap the block in tape), and mail...

i'd love to say something but unfortunately i just bit my tongue ....    :eek:

Grapes, now I KNOW you have it in for me! I get enough paper cuts every day as it is, now you wanna send razors through the mail in envelopes? I gotta get me some Kevlar gloves.

I like putting them in those plastic .22 boxes with the sliding lids. Then wrap the box up in case it gets shattered, and then put that in a bigger box with padding... crumpled plastic shopping bags or newspaper.

Can you imagine a worker getting cut on the job because of a poorly packaged weapon?

Shhhhhh quiet, or ups will put a bounty on them...like gun powder.

[BOWMARKS]

I would get one of DVD boxes from USPS do not need anyone getting cut!!      

[Ragnarok Forge]

Hmm,

I think the broadhead only qualifies as part of a weapon though in this case the sharp part.  As Killie said better safe than sorry.  I ship a lot of knives and tomahawks and always tape the blades and then pad them with cardboard and then put them in wrapped padding and into the box.  No need to risk a USPS workers lively hood over careless packaging.

I put them in an altoid tin and sent them off that way...

[buckeye_hunter]

But then they get all minty and the deer walk right up and lick them. It is too hard to get a good shot angle when they are that close......

[BunneyHunter]

Ditto I usually place masking tape over the blades, easy to take off when they arrive and everyone keeps their fingers!

I remember ordering broadheads from different mfgrs and stores and getting them in a manila envelope taped to cardboard, but I like the box idea better, if for no other reason than the cost so has gone up much on the dang things.

large pill bottles work for three bladers.puta little foam in both ends.then put the bottle in a box stuffed with newspaper.just make sure you take out all the medication,you don't need that trouble.

90& of the time i put the broads in a few napkins fold them up and mailed the off in the envelope, never had a problem
