anybody see the utility in people shipping tubes with a tongue depressor rubber banded to the tube? :ziggi:
yes, happens quite often with tubes here.
pay via paypal, use credit card,file dispute at the 20 day mark if suspicious. don't deal with noobs. don't trade with noobs. request feedback ahead of time. there are lots of good people 'round here.

I'm not saying I do this, but it sounds like they're trying to stop the tube from rolling off the conveyor belt

exactly

I think USPS is doing it

I ship anything over $150 in a priority triangle. Haven't seen a $4 surcharge on those either

Been shipping in a tube, wrapped in bubble wrap, the placed in a box. Using Pirate Ship it’s about $15 to most locations.

I've really been enjoying the 2-3 week priority service that USPS has been providing of late

It’s drymounting brutal.
It’s shocking Dejoy hasn’t been removed.
Too busy stopping the orange bag of crap himself to concentrate on his appointees I guess.
Two tubes missing for over a month.
