Cost to ship compound bow

[Wapiti406]

Currently kicking around the idea of selling my old bow. I’m trying to figure out a reasonable TYD cost. I am curious for those of you that have shipped bows recently, what has shipping cost you and through what courier service did you use?

That seems way high. I've never paid more than $30 in the lower 48 shipping USPS.

Cross country $45-60
Couple states around you $25-40

Ship priority and get insurance. It has helped me more than once.

I think mine was a little less than $50 shipped USPS.

I just bought a bow from someone and he somehow got it shipped to me several states away for $15. At least that’s what the postage says

45 with insurance on my last one.

Dang. I shipped mine via FedEx last week. Bow and associated kit inside a double bow case, plus $800 insurance was $100. Sounds like I should have used USPS.

That’s still not too bad for shipping in a double case. The prices everyone quoting so low is in a manufacturers box. Usually $25-35 with usps in one of those boxes.

I bet some of these costs didn’t include insurance.

USPS - WI to ID Priority w/ $1k insurance was $70. Shipped in the original box.

Think they screwed me though as they wouldn't price ground after they gave me the priority sticker...

Wasn't the normal post-lady though. Was her daughter and another Iady I hadn't seen before. Very small town post office.

I shipped a bow a year ago and it was about $40 from WI to CA (with no insurance though).

USPS - Priority OR to TX w/$600 insurance $65 last week, shipped in bow box. 33" ATA Bare Bow

USPS - IA to OR 35" ATA bow, fully setup with soft case in box $80

Seems to run $45-50 with insurance from USPS for me. That's in a manufacturer bow box. Insurance is of course based off of coverage. If it's 1k in coverage going to be more than $500 in coverage. I think by a decent amount.

Also if there is a claim from USPS I'm pretty certain the money goes to the sender, and it can take a while.

I can’t remember how much insurance I’m thinking $500 but I sent 1 in a sob hard case fedex from NM to MI it was $70
