I was going to order some carbon fiber veil from CST. I was wanting to order a 2 yard package for $38.95 until I got to shipping and they want $25.00 to ship it. Does anyone have a source for this for a reasonable shipping charge?
Thank you,
Mike
Mike - Carbon veil does not fold well so your 36” x 72” (1yd x 2yd) piece will be rolled into a 36”+ long parcel. Here is some info on the 2022 USPS up-charges for “long” parcels:
Parcels that are longer than 22 inches but less than 30 inches will see a $4.00 surcharge.
Parcels that exceed 30 inches in length will incur a $7.00 surcharge.
Parcels that measure greater than 2 cubic feet (3456 cubic inches) will also see a $15.00 fee added.
If you can find one person local to you (RC club?) that wants to jump in and buy one you are both paying $12.50 shipping. 2 other people… $8.33 shipping. And so on.
Good look finding a solution. (I’ve gotten all mine LPU at RC swap meets, CL contests, etc)
