We all ship and trade here and just remember you cant use to much tape..I just received a package from Joe sell. (JOE) stand up guy. anyway the box was empty from the US post office.
.I pm Joe and he made it right. SO if you ship, tape well.

My problems were ALWAYS with UPS not the Post Office. Like you, UPS once delivered a package to me with nothing in it. UPS also delivered a bow to me 3 pieces....to bad it a was a one piece recurve. Pack em' well boys....

Not typical of the USPS. Always over-do it on packing this stuff. Boxes just don't offer much resistance to damage or theft. I like to go with tube within a tube myself and use the filament strapping tape, and lots of it! Insure it!!!!

For me -
1 piece bows:
PVC or carpet tube
Take downs:
Boxes
PVC is the best for 1 piece longbows. It might be kind of spendy for 1 piece recurves though due to the size needed.
I totally agree with Tom about boxes. I've received 2 longbows this year that took a beating (USPS). The boxes were bent & smashed so bad I was afraid to open them. Even if it's insured it can take a while to get your money.
