the postal service has a long triangle box that it would fit in price would be dependant on where its going about $6 for a state or two away to about $14 for the east coast from colorado.

You're welcome, Lee.  I just noticed that each pole has two inner extensions and locks.  Should be easier to extend and stronger too.

Thanks for the Info.

FEDEX Ground will probably be the best (No hurry if they have a longer option).  The poles should fit in the FEDEX large triangle tube (a FedEx standard).  UPS doesn't like odd shapes so they charge more for them.  

78350 is a little town 30 miles NW of Corpus Christi they probably charge more to get there.  
78411 is my zip and it's a FedEx pickup and delivery location (versus a personal address) so that might be cheaper yet.   I'll PM my address so you can get a accurate quote.

Butterfly - Fed-Ex website calculates $15.05; Fed-Ex Ship Center quoted $19.65 for the cheapest option (3 day ground) for a Corpus Christi  zipcode picked at random (78350). 

UPS website shows $10.36; UPS Store quoted "about $25". 

Dometic charged a flat rate of $25.  The package weighs 5.4 lbs. 

I’m still trying to get accurate shipping info and will let you know.

 

Phil - I live near Boulder, Colorado, zip code 80026.

 

Thanks,

Bob

 I have one bent pole (Coursity of that storm after the KY roundup) and would be nice to have back up.   Can you give me a calucated shipping price to Corpus Christi, TX 78411.

After waiting 2 1/2 months for 3 replacement roof poles for my R-Dome, I received 3 sets of 3 roof poles each.  Since I don't foresee needing 9 roof poles and since Dometic says on the invoice that parts are non-returnable (although I could probably argue for an RMA), I thought I'd see if anyone here needs a set.  I have two sets for sale at my cost of $34 each + whatever shipping is.
 
 
Thanks,
Bob
