Can someone tell me the cheapest way to ship a saddle that was sold on eBay? I read something about printing a label off of eBay to use just wondering what my cheapest options was. Thanks!

get a box that is just the right size for the saddle as the demensions will affect the cost. I use goshippo.com now. You get a discount. I wrap the horn with something, also put a return address etc IN the box before taping tape the living daylights out of it and insure it.

If you're close to a Home Depot they have heavy duty moving boxes that are double walled and great. A large has snuggly fit every saddle I've shipped, I feel like they're safer if they can't move all over. I e had flimsy single walled boxes show up in less than desirable condition.

I shipped a saddle from ND to WA a few months back. I put it in an extra 30 gallon Rubbermaid tote and taped the heck out of it. Fit just perfect. Cost me $38 UPS.
