USPS is no longer an option to ship posters.

eBay two days ago.

One of these dudes works pretty well. It helps to have a workbench with a vise..

It's just too much work. A table saw would be nice though

What are ya using, a hacksaw? Circular saw? I don't wanna be busting out power tools each time I need to ship a big poster.

Bread knife bud..
I pin it in the silverware drawer… takes 10 seconds.
Those knives are sharp as hell.

I could totes see you doing this. Hacking away while thinking of upseeker or your current poster nemesis at the time.

Just make sure you put the poster in first

Newbs. Ive been buying the 3” x 48” Yazoo tubes and cutting to size with a little reciprocating saw for years. The 48” are extra thick - basically uncrushable when you cut to smaller lengths.

Dupe post

well drymount. here's hoping not, i've got like 3 boxes of 30" tubes in the garage to work through when this damn broken wrist finishes healing.

Trim the tubes by an inch or two.

Just a little lop off the tip?

Yes, just like a circumcision. And the saw chalkdust posted is what I use.

Cut the tube to fit the roll.
I’ve saved hundreds throughout the years. And I don’t come off as a rookie stuffing toilet paper, trash bags, whatever crap people stuff in the end that usually smashes into the poster.
EZ PZ.

My kraft roll is 36" wide so I've always just cut the paper to the length of the tube pre-rolling as opposed to stuffing fudge in the tube. Guess I'm going to have to test cutting a couple of inches off each tube from here on out though. Fun damn times.

take the roll of kraft, place inside the tube
cut tube on buzz saw to length

pro moves

I would need like a 12" wide tube for this to work

must be using one fat azz roll of kraft paper dude - business is good !!!

in that case just buzz/hack the entire roll

the point was, roll is sized vs cutting each one manually

that 15 dollar bump is more like 20 after ebay gets done taxing you

[jojobadass]

save time - fedex

they even pick up at your front door = money

set up a business account and negotiate your rates

best move I ever made

The title of this thread is a bit misleading…no?

Any of ya'll been using "Ground Advantage" to ship posters yet? If so, how has it been so far? Seems way cheaper than Priority with the ridiculous size requirements introduced last year. I figure they're trying to rival UPS Ground, but with dis it wouldn't be necessary to stick tubes in a box.
