That will double the shipping as most stocks require a box longer than 30”. Let’s see what UPS does. Last edited by John_Boy; 03/27/22.

I've had under $5 items shipped to me in boxes that would cost me $10 to ship. "Any inanimate object will just sit there until a person picks it up.

Sure leads you to think USPS needs to clean up it's act and hold the employees to a higher standard. But they don't. They know it doesn't matter, no need to be efficient, as congress will always just give them more money every year they come up short. Time overdue to fix this, stop the extra funding and get the union and workers to step up their game. Or be out on the street. Last edited by Redbone311; 03/28/22.

You did not "seen" anything, you "saw" it. A "creek" has water in it, a "crick" is what you get in your neck. Liberals with guns are nothing but hypocrites.

I have recvd some shipments direct from china and they come as small as they can be tp protect the package. I will say tho that I didnt intentionally order stuff from china and of the things I did they all were returned to amazon as pure junk.
