The pipe is considered oversized, that's why it costs more to ship.

The pipe was free, only cost him S/H.

Yeah, that's visqueen or an imitation. Thanks.

Emfuser, I can ship it however you would like. In a box, or just bubble wrapped

Sounds like the bubble-wrap and visqueen route is the way to go. If I read the posts correctly the best thing to do is call your local fedex office, confirm with them that they're still ok with that and go from there.

I guess we're go for launch.

I have a packing ship company that has access to all major shipping carriers, so they can let me know the cheapest route. My only concern with it being out of a box is, what if it arrives damaged? It is in perfect condition now. I can send you pics if you provide an e-mail address. My wife said that she would be kind enough to go to the packing company and check on the price for shipping. Please PM me your exact address. Thank you.
