| Anyone have experience shipping a saddle pad?
Wondering what I can expect for approximate cost (in state) and the best way to go about it.
If anyone is wondering, using the UPS STORE is convenient but OMG do you pay for it. But that was for a saddle so I have no clue on a pad.
Help. Thanks :) |

Location: Oklahoma | I *think* it cost me about $15 to ship a pad from OK to LA with USPS. I used the original box the pad came in. |

| thanks! would USPS have boxes? I don't have the box any more and it isn't exactly a size/type of box you run across often. |

Location: Central Texas | You can ship it through the regular USPS. I have used a paper feed stack, cut the ends off, put the saddle pad in a large plastic garbage bag, tape it up, then wrap it in the feed sack, brown side out, tape it up, label it and ship it. |

Location: Kansas | I use black trash bags and lots of packing tape. It normally costs anywhere from $13 to $35 to ship a pad depending on length and distance. |

Location: NC | I don't remember costs but I have sold and recieved pads in the mail with either a feed bag on each end and then taped to gether really well or in a trachbag taped really well. probably much cheaper then trying to find a box. |

| Oh you guys are so smart.
The feed bags sounds like a great idea. |

| Update -- Feeds bags were the BEST idea. Worked slick. And shipping was $12
Thanks for the help guys! |

Location: Jersey Girl | Don't ship it in a box. Use one of those contractor bags (trash bags). It will save you alot on the shipping cost. |
