Title: swap details.
Post by: bigbob2 on July 08, 2015, 02:30:00 AM

Had this problem last year too, but it seems quite a few guys on here don't include much in the way of personal details in their profile, which I can understand, but unfortunately courier companies require a phone number and / or email address before they will accept the tube, so my swap bow is just sitting here with no apparent way of getting the info.without giving the game away.

I think everyone provided a phone number to Kelly G, at least in theory. He should have the number.

Bob you should be able to get their email address from their profile...and Kelly should have the phone number

USPS doesn't require an email or phone number. I send all bows, arrows, staves and other stuff USPS Priority Mail and only lost one hickory stave and that was 15 years ago.

USPS has been my preferred way to send bows.  Price is very reasonable.. I recently paid less than $17 to ship a 62" bow in a 5" diameter tube.

Bob, I haven't seen Kelly post in about a week. He will probably check in shortly. I think he was moving or something.

Sent him an email, to try and speed things up. I am conscious of the late date which has mostly been out of my control with the clear glass issues etc.I would dearly love to get it on the way!

Just checked my profile and there is an email, so sadly I guess I am not getting your bow.

Bob,

I have sent several bows to Australia by USPS. Took 2 weeks but the price of shipping was good. Don't know how you would have to ship from Australia to the States.

Kelly is in Augusta Ga. He's started a new job but he does check his PMs. I just got a PM from him 2 days ago and replied right back which he received and replied to.
