I had a "different" item to ship. While on a family reunion camping trip, one of our adult sons found a water-tumbled 5' fairly straight & thick branch that he used as a staff. He wanted it sent to him in Virginia, as a keepsake, as he and his family were flying home. As my family considers me the queen of shipping, he left it in my hands. I was beginning to despair as I could only find tubes up to 4'. Our Fedex shipper recommended Box Brothers. I walked in with it, and in 10 minutes walked out with a perfectly wrapped & boxed item. My reputation is safe!! I will be using them from now on, and Christmas is coming! Highly recommended.
