Recommended instructions for shipping bows for rehair and repair or restoration.
Wrap the bow in 36 inches of 3/16 inch bubble pack. Obtain a 32 inch length of ABS plastic pipe and two orange or blue plastic push-on caps. Insert the bow into the tube by folding the ends of the bubble pack on each end of the bow. Do not use tape on the bubble pack. It is not necessary and allows continued use. This will form a solid fit and hold the bow secure during shipping. Wrap tape around the plastic ends to prevent their loss.
Once you have purchased this inexpensive mailing tube it can used over and over.
Send your bow by trusted courier such as FedEx, UPS, etc or by USPS Express Post. Make sure the bow is insured against loss.
We will return your bow in the same tube by your chosen method of transit.
We can do overnight rehairs at your request for a small additional fee.
