The combination of a cut and swollen lymph nodes can be bloodpoisoning.
If it dont go away you wont have time to get it checked out!

 Sorry for both you guys...I've had my problems with packages also. Especially arrow shafting >:( When you see tire tracks on the box from a forklift you know something went completely wrong.

I use to load trucks for UPS an the packages there was mishandled frequently not only people but get stuck on the belts as well. When a 53 ft trailer is crammed full of packages front to back its hard to not have anything damaged. Honestly I'm surprised that more stuff isn't damaged but once on the brown trucks they are stacked and handled much better. I know this is a different shipping company but I assume it still applies.

Well it updated today, so I guess I can stop my whining and cryin,  ;D. I think pvc pipes work good, but then you really gotta bubble wrap and secure the crap out of your bow inside. I have had horn nocks broke off of elbs that have 4 layers of bubble wrap wrapped around them, with the bow secure in the pipe, so much bubble wrap I could barely jam it in there. I think it's because they are so heavy (and big in the case of longbows/warbows) that they get treated and thrown around like they are indestructible, so I would make whatever's inside as indestructible as possible. I have seen one after it was shipped from ohio, to CA, back to me in ohio, and it looked like it had been through a war, this was fedex ground though. I still like fedex better than usps.  :) Bryce, if it was inappropriate of me to ask that, I apologize, thank you for the advice, and I am extremely sorry to hear that about your father. Thank you again.

Noted. I will give that a try. Bryce, I'm glad he's ok, I guess I will stop derailing this thread, and will wait to post again until I find out my bow has also arrived broken like pearl drums bow.  :) Seriously though, that really does suck, sorry about that PD. It just brought out some deep seeded hate I harbor deep inside for bow destroying delivery services, didn't mean to go off there.  :)

Sorry to hear about your loss. I have'nt had any probs shipping staves or bows yet, but I do have a shipping story to tell real quick. It was so absurd it was hillarious. My 16yr old daughter went online and bought some of those rediculously high priced designer jeans on sale for about $30(her money). 10 days later she gets this plastic bag in the mail with what looks like shredded denim. I mean like you could use it for mulch. It had a postal label on it that said. "Were sorry that your package was slightly damaged during shipping. We appologize for any inconvience this may have caused you". This stuff was so toast it was'nt even worth shipping. I'm guessing it got caught up in the conveyor belt and was in there quite a while. Post office said the Postmaster was out of town and that I would have to wait till he got back to get any satisfaction from them. In the mean time I called the company she bought the jeans from and told them the story. They replaced them immediatley and appologized for the inconvience. Good customer service.  Danny

That is a bummer!  :o  :'(     Definitely makes me worry a bit about shipping.   :-\   

TMK, try a hot pack on your swollen lymph nodes.  My Grandma was a nurse back in the day when they took care of people and didn't just push pills.  She taught me that trick and it does wonders.  Just use a hot washcloth and frequently change the water out to keep it as hot as you can stand.  It helps loosen up those boogery white blood cells that get jammed up in those nodes now and again.  I find I am more likley to get a swollen lymph node when I am not staying hydrated.  So drink plenty of water when you are sweating away making bows and cutting yourself up.  ;D
