> I have a 150' length of 7/8" hardline, (Cellflex by RFS) that I may need

straps, keeping it together.. about 5' in diameter. Actual weight, about 45
lbs. What is the best vendor/way to ship, ground? UPS, Truck/Motor Freight?
, Fedex?, DHL? Would I have to wrap/package it, protecting from
heavy/crushing blows, kinks etc? It may not be practical, to ship, but I
dont know that
yet....If not practical to ship, I would be happy to supply to a needy ham
in Northern California..
Well, the pros won't accept hardline on a reel that was laid flat so
shipping it absent a reel may be problematic. I'm not too concerned about 150'
of 7/8" but I wouldn't turn it over to a shipping company.
Local pick-up or delivery by you or the buyer would be the only
reasonable way to do it without spending a bunch on a reel and proper
shipping.
