Courtney B aka BreedloveHoops replied to the discussion 'Shipping Hoops, need some answers'"$23 is insane. I had a coiled down Moodhoop (orig. 38" diamater coiled down to half that size) that shipped for a little over $12 in a pizza box. You might want to look into that."
Sheyenne replied to the discussion 'Shipping Hoops, need some answers'"Had problems with the post office recently shipping a hoop over 38" - they wanted to measure by the new *girth* rules and charge me the outrageous price of $60!! But UPS shipped it for $23.13 and it got there the very next day - not too…"
emOHlee replied to the discussion 'Shipping Hoops, need some answers'"I have shipped hoops many of times and personally I always go through fedex.I like to bubble wrap mine. But I have not had any issues shipping across the US and as of just recently I also shipped to Canada."
Rachael Clinton replied to the discussion 'Shipping Hoops, need some answers'"no the post isnt really interested to help. but it is like shipping a tire, you cant charge for the empty space in the middle! they should be shipping it by weight not size, and if your hoops are pretty standard 160 or so psi they should not…"
kimani l♥vs replied to the discussion 'Shipping Hoops, need some answers'"thank you, im def going to try a local place by my house... the post office is just full of people that are miserable and def dont give a crap about helping you!"
kimani l♥vs replied to the discussion 'Shipping Hoops, need some answers'"I realize this is a pretty old post but i am having so much trouble with this. ive searched high and low to find a way to explain to the post office how to ship a hoop but i am pretty sure i just sound uneducated or something. ;p
can anyone help me…"
Rachael Clinton replied to the discussion 'Shipping Hoops, need some answers'"i have shipped lots of hoops, i go to my local PostNet and the girls there do everything to help me get my hoops shipped inexpensively and timely. I use Priority Mail and it normally costs me around $8 per hoop, they do it for me by weight and…"
Katie replied to the discussion 'Shipping Hoops, need some answers'"Okay, so here's what I ended up doing, I hope it helps someone in the future with shipping multiple hoops:
I made all new ones, coiled them down tightly, and then put them in a box that used to have large picture frames. My boss is married to…"
Sunshine Designs replied to the discussion 'Shipping Hoops, need some answers'"you will have to ship them seperately.
I coil mine down then wrap the crap out of them with bubble wrap
but since you have 3, if you can find a larger box or make one then I suggest going with UPS it should be cheaper, they offer better rates for…"
Katie replied to the discussion 'Shipping Hoops, need some answers'"Okay so, when you coil them down, do you put them in a box? I have three of them so I imagine that'll be the best. How much does that generally cost?
Sorry if i'm being annoying, I feel incredibly stupid for not figuring this out…"
Katie replied to the discussion 'Shipping Hoops, need some answers'"Yeah, I started thinking and I realized I can send her some coiled up tubing so she doesn't have to buy a whole roll. But mostly taping the hoops sounds even better! I'll ask her which she would prefer."

Sunshine Designs replied to the discussion 'Shipping Hoops, need some answers'"ya that's what I do with all hoopers who request to not have a collapsible. it works really well!"
Sunshine Designs replied to the discussion 'Shipping Hoops, need some answers'"nope!!!
heat guns will melt the tape, i have heard of some people using a hair dryer, but I don't own one so I wouldn't know about that."
Jessica Kaufman left a comment for Rachel Mansfield"For sure! I would love, love, love a hoop group in CW. I miss out on so many things b/c driving to Richmond is a pain."

Sarah Sparkles* Sparkle & Burn* said… - Thanks for you comment, love. I guess the deal is the post office changed their policy a while back, and they don't follow the things listed in the thread anymore...as well as no one knowing of the previous policies to begin with. Silly USPS.
