Default Best/Cheapest way to ship a bow???

Hello everyone. I just sold mybow a day or two ago and I am shipping it in its plano hard bow case. I am also shipping other things with the bow inside the case causing the case to be on the heavy side. What is the cheapest way to ship this?

Your local Post Office, Priority shipping. That's all I do.

UPS is also a good option. Might not be as inexpensive as priority shipping with the post office.

This is what i have changed to also. UPS is kinda pricy$$ Get insurance by all means, i have had one theft with usps, just ask mobow, and i had no insurance. its cheap and needs to be done on something like that.

I did the same thing you are doing when I sold my first bow last year. I sold it on Ebay with the Dockso 44 pro case and everything. It was a huge mistake to sell it that way. USPS is your cheapest option now. The best way to sell a bow is in the original box with the sight, stabelizer, and rest if they can fit. You should be able to throw your arrows, release and other stuff that you might want to sell in there also. If I sell over ebay again I guarantee that I will not be including the case.

It's been a long time since I shipped a bow so I couldn't quote you current prices.

I sent a Hoyt to Michigan and I believe it was in the $17 range with insurance. ?

I just shipped my bear element Priority, for $15.00

Parcel Post is a little cheaper but not much and it takes a lot longer to get there.
