Hello Folks.. For rolled posters fed ex group and ups are good. they
have tracking
The priority is Good by USPS and are actually handled BY FEDEX as USPS
has no planes so they Use fed ex and common carrier domestic airlines i
have ben told.
Delivery confirmation is a green slip add on by Usps that if you do
online at www.usps.com is 60cent or 70
at the window at PO office.
For Rolled posters I suggest Yazoo Mills Tubes in Pa . I use 3 inch
and 4 inch.. x 36 long the 4 will hold 50 one
sheet roll nice and the 3 is durable for onsies they cost 2-3 a piece
and are boxes liek 20 and 10 per box.
Yazoo sents postpaid on east coast.
For flat posters I use the priority boxes and sandwich in board.
Also the 4 inch PVC sewr pipe availible at home depot is like 6.00 for a
10 foot piece and jsut use a hack saw to cut or radial arm saw.
The end caps can be bought from either yazoo or alliance plastics/
I also use hraft paper and foam to wrap the posters the kraft can be
bought from a corrogated box company
as the liner that makes the box is rolled paper.. 1/8 inch poly foam
makes a great cushion.
I use making tape inside as if it gets on the paper can be released ..
Then on outside I use filiment tape on caps as they tend to POP open ..
then I seal well with packing tape
also I will typically wrap the foam and kraft wrap in a sealed Poly bag
in case the entire tube were to be emersed in a lquid.
the end I leave a space and fill with a cushion on both ends to absorb
shock.....
at finally if te item warrants it we insure for the value... most
items may be tracked at the home sites
of Ups, usps or fedex.
usps scans periodically... fedex scans at each stop that transfers tjhe
load I believe..
International PRIORITY uses the customs form as the tracking number
Hope that helps/
