So, for tubes that are exactly 30" long it's the smaller $4 - not the $15 - charge, yeah?

I would bet as soon as it hits 30 you see the higher charge.

Hate to break it to ya, but they’re most likely 31” anyways. 30” is the useable length, not the actual length.

Trim the tubes by an inch or two.

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.

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

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