I had the exact same thing happen to me, but the strings are perfect!  =
UPS broke the tube right in half, and then taped it back together.  =

  I agree, the shipping container is brilliant.  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.

      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 =

      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??  =20

    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. =20

    Unlikely to see any shipping damage on THOSE strings.  Thumbs up on =
the shipping method, and for the strings too. =20
