Go to the usps website and fill in the blanks. Figure on 3 lbs for weight and that should get you very close. If you use a usps tube, the dimensions are about 36"x3" diameter. Need to know zip codes involved and don't forget insurance cost.

I just received a cue via USPS Express with 4K in insurance and it was $63. From TX to WA state.

Using one of our traingular Priority tubes, if it weighs under 3lbs, the max would be $15.25. Of course the insurance is extra. Tracking is included with all Priority now.

I just bought and received an ebay cue and 1x1 case, sent UPSP Priority Mail. The seller used a Medium Mailing Tube from USPS.

The USPS label says $8.90 but it was only going from one Chicago suburb to another.

Yeah mine was shipped in a triangle box with enough padding to withstand an earthquake, also might have been two day not sure

shipping

if out of the USA could be $150-$200.
I shipped a 35mm camera to Mexico. weighed a couple pounds, DHL wanted $200. Fed Ex was $130.
cue should weigh about the same.

If it's a cheap cue, it cost me to ship up and down the East coast round $8.

From East Coast to West Coast cost me around $13.

Always cost me more if it has to cross the Mississippi River.:angry:

I always use Priority Mail.



For a cue that cost over $250, I'll insure it and pay a little extra.
I'll also use a partial round tube inside the USPS triangle tube.
I cut all my tubes down to 33 inches.
With a 38 inch tube, there is a greater chance that it can get damaged.
I always use big bubble bubble wrap.
I try and keep all my packages 2 pounds or less.

it depends on the weight and where it's going.

what's the from and to destinations? pack it light and you might save a few b ucks but it won't be as safe.
