Shipping cue

I like putting it into bubble wrap and then into a piece of PVC pipe with caps. Then pack that into a box and ship. It’s virtually indestructible packed like that. May seem like overkill but the animals that work for these shipping companies are truly inventive when it comes to ways to handle packages roughly. The buyer is going to have PayPal protection for his cash if cue is damaged and the seller is on the hook. Trying to collect insurance even if you pay for it is an adventure at best. It’s just worth the extra time and slight expense to save those headaches.
I haven't read all the comments but if you place an identical label on the tube then it has a better chance of arriving if those animals break open the box. I've double boxes items for shipping and always place an additional label on the inside box. Might not make a difference but makes me feel like I've done all I can with shipping it.

2-minute survey for pool players — a startup wants your honest opinion

Interesting. Although why they hadn’t heard of scoring beads or coins on the table I don’t understand.
That makes it seem that the people running the startup don't know enough about pool/billiards to write a survey. Add to beads and coins: scorewheels as on Gold Crowns, and the snooker-style scorers with 20 and 20s.

Here is one of the questions:
