Here's a pic of the worst UPS could do - the strings survived without a scratch. You can't see it in this picture, but UPS actually broke the tube in two, then taped it back together.

I wanted the tensions of the new strings but he said they were way under the breaking point of the of the core wire so I said go ahead and make them to your computations. I must say his method of shipping is the best I have seen. Imagine my surprise when I came home to find a four foot long 1-1/4" pvc pipe from UPS. Inside were my bass strings. The only complaint I have is he used thin walled so I can't cut it up and use it for piano rollers. The weight of the piano squashes them. Oh well,----I am not asking for a shipping rate increase but no way were those strings going to be damaged in as long as he ships them this way. What was it? 6.99 shipping and handling?? Ric, Yeah, I thought the shipping method was great. I got a set of monocords awhile back, and now I have this cool PVC tube to do something(?) with. If I could fit it in my car, it would be a great place to store my universals. Unlikely to see any shipping damage on THOSE strings. Thumbs up on the shipping method, and for the strings too.
