PVC pipe and Spee Dee Delivery Services, Inc. I personally shipped a BigDawg using Spee Dee from central Wisconsin to central Minnesota for less than $7. Got the idea from St. Croix, they used SpeeDee for several shipments to me. Rod tubes were always in excellent shape, which I cannot say for two other shippers I have received shipments from.

TI ships with spee dee also. Real cheap. Just remember to measure and weigh the item and whoever is recieveing it has to be there to sign for it. I had them shipped to my work place.

I went to a carpeting store and got some HEAVY duty cardboard tubes. They give it away for free and even cut it down to the length I wanted.

Go to you local Fastenal store and ask for the cardboard tubes that the threaded rod gets shipped in. Nice and strong, usually has caps on the ends, long ones are 12' and typically free.

FedEx if you are not in the Midwest and SpeeDees if you are in the Midwest. If you need a tube try Home Depot/Menards/Lowes for PVC OR if you are in the Midwest you can email me and I can ship you some tubes too. Cost me about $7 to ship you 4 empty tubes with caps. Always hapy to help. [email protected]
