Do any of you vets prefer using one carrier over another? Is USPS just as good as DHL, UPS, or FEDEX? I've got my noob artillery loaded, I just need to fire it off.

USPS Priority works just as well as UPS, DHL, or FedEx ground and is cheaper in general, just get delivery conformation...

If you pack the stick properly you shouldn't have to worry about them drying out during shipping

I use USPS. I have not lost anything. Most packages that are sent to me by the fine S/Botl here come USPS also.Price for shipping is decent also.

USPS..........go to their website and register for "Click'n'Ship".

You can set up shipment and print postage from the internet............also you can order free boxes.

Thanks guys. I put all the sticks in tupperware and threw a couple humidi-sticks in there just to make sure they don't get too dried out. USPS w/ delivery confirmation it is. Mandoman, here it comes!!

Do I need sandbags, an unlimited Home Depot card? Should I warn the mailman, alert the bomb squad?

How about announcements for the neighbors to alert them to the impending noise?

Is my brand new mailbox in danger?

Inquiring minds want to know.

I don't think you need to warn the neighbors or anything. I think it's more of an M-80 than a Bomb per se, but M-80's have been known to destroy a mailbox or two. 😉. The confirmation # hasn't posted yet, but for when it does:

0305 2200 0000 6910 5016

....2-3 day fuse lit...:-)

Damn. Wish I knew that before-hand. I packed them in tupperware with air-filled baggies and humidi-sticks and then put all that inside a box with a bunch of padding. Then again, the shipping was only 9 bucks w/ Priority and delivery confirmation, so I only dropped a dollar more. I'll keep that in mind for next time though.
