Pappy, I have never shipped one before.  I believe UPS is more expensive here too.  I'm just saying the PO usually leaves a note, and I drive to the post office.  Its only 2.5 miles so its no big deal.  Keenan is the first one to send me on by UPS and it was in a tube. I have got them by USPS with a shipping label stuck to the wood and shipped.   Justin

   You can ship staves through regular mail cheaper.They don't like it and sometimes will try to tell you they wont take it. They also ad an extra ten dollars if it's not in cardboard.  The other draw back is it can take 10 days to 6 weeks to get there with regular mail service.With UPS it was around 6 dollars more but insured to $100.00 and trackable and quarentied to be there in 3 days. All that wasn't nessesary but I like the peace of mind. Keenan

I have shipped 7 in the last month and was only 15.00 to ship Insure and track from the post office
and it has never took over 3 days.The draw back is most times they won't bring because it won't fit in there cars at least for the rule rt.s.I sent 2 Hickory stave's to Okla.and only cost 22.00 and he had them in 3 days.The key on the price is it has to be no more than 120 in. total that is length
plus around the center of the package.If it is more than that it is 10.00 more.Not trying to start trouble just trying to figure out what is best seem like some like one way and some like another.Imagine that. :)

 Thanks for the info Pappy, I'm always looking to save on the shipping if I can. I have to also state that when I said 10-days to 6 weeks for regular mail, that is based on what I was told,not by experinece. After hearing of your good success with the postal service, I may try that next, especially because it's going to the same address. that way I can get some real true time dillivery comparisons.   Keenan

I send everything USPS. I get the best service from them. For things of value, the postal person told me to send priority mail. Fewer hands touch it when sent priotity and when dealing with any shippers, the fewer hands that touch it, the better. 
   I have heard horror stories about shipping UPS and they can always find a way to blame you for their screw ups.    Pat

  Hey guy's I do the same as Pappy.I've never had a problem with the postal service.I've taken so much wood in to be shipped that they don't even bother to measure it anymore.I just wrap the staves in shrink wrap plastic to cut down on splinters and stick a shipping label on it.It's usually there in 3 days,because I ship it Priorty mail.It's cheaper and faster.I hate getting stuff I have to sign for.I get home from work after the Post Office closes and had alot of stuff sent back after 3 days when I couldn't get there.I've never had anybody steal a log or box of rocks yet.
