AS a thought i got some 3 ft aluminum pipe and it came in a USPS triangular cardboard box. Not sure if this is a flat rate item or not. I can see if it has a USPS stock number on it when I get to the house tomorrow. I think that might prove to be a useful way to ship.

I will take a break on new orders until I get this stuff cut and boxed, but I should have all down through mikeiniowa covered.
Right now, I have:

Splash   10
RCnMo    4
johncedarhill    4
Skonion    4
yel01z06    4
Scruff Dog    4
mjb108   6
Black Mamba   3
Jaymo   10
mikeiniowa   6

I think I will standardize 2' lengths for the larger quantities, unless specified otherwise. This will minimize the cutting. I know I said it is "easily cut" but that was just marketing. I don't think it will dull the tablesaw blade too badly and that would make it a lot easier.

USPS goes by length + girth so a couple of 2-footers would be 24+2+2+4+4=34" for example. This would be under the Large Package size of 84".
I weighed some pieces. A 6 ft. stick was 9 lbs, a 4 ft was 6 lbs (so I reckon 10' would be 15 lbs).

Dave, USPS has 3 measurements 34x17x17, if any are over this, then it cost extra.

USPS doesn't really care and Parcel Post is based on weight. Size & shape don't seem to matter and they go by length + girth. Still probably the cheapest option.

If you guys will review the quantities (there is plenty enough for another foot or two if you want to round up), and PM me some ship-tos, I will start cutting. There is quite enough to make all the commitments above.

Well I think I got them all posted today, plain parcel post.
Some are two-footers, a few are 1s. I might have messed some quantities up. They should be close. Hey, what am I, Pyramyd? I never shipped this much stuff in my life by USPS.
Next time I will see what boxes are available first, and cut the danged plastic to fit what I have.
In this case I cut the pieces first, then cut the boxes to fit (kinda like framing and hanging your door first, then building the house around it). So some (most) of you will get some rather ugly packages. I am not much of a shipper. I caused a bit of a spectacle in the USPS lobby at the automatic shipping machine. Some elderly people wondered what-all I was shipping and when I would be done. That was kinda fun, because a lot of them seem to hang out at the PO looking for conversation, or spectacles. I think they go there every day.

I considered stencilling "CAUTION: WEAPONS GRADE DELRIN" on the boxes but thought better of it.

Most of y'all are easterners so it will be 6-7 days to receipt.

I'll PM ya individually on shipping.

Sure slices easily on the tablesaw, no wonder people like to work with it. No burn or fumes to speak of. I'm sure there are different grades and if this not what you were expecting, sorry in advance. There will be a little more down the road, not as much, but if it is what you like and you consume a lot of this, I will let you know when I get some more.

It has been a good way to get to know some GTAers offline, and worth it for that alone. Great bunch of folks!

Hi Dave, I' try some if any is left. How about 2-2' pieces. Let me know what you need for cash. Thanks - Lee

No, if you were PA, nothing would have shipped yet. It would be backordered for a month or two.
