I am going to be shipping 3 rods and want to ship them together.  What is the best and most inexpensive way to do this?  any input will help.

Thanks,

    Sent some to my son last year and I just went to Home Depot and got some PVC pipe and 2 end caps.  Cut to fit the rods plus room for a couple inches of foam in each end to cushion them.  Glued one end cap on and then used couple of small screws for the other endcap plus duct taped it on.  Made it from Texas to NJ via UPS with no breakage.  Used fairly heavy PVC so wasn't cheap postage, but they made it safe.

    Local Academy and their website have/had a tube supposedly suitable for mailing.

    Just make sure you pack that tube tight with newspaper or something so they dont get damaged. You want those rods moving as little as possible in the tube.
