hello i just recently sold my bow and trying to figure out the best way to ship, i tried fed ex but they wanted to charge 70 for shipping. all help would be greatly appreciated

$70 is crazy. I ship FedEx for roughly $30. How do you have it packaged?

I ship all mine USPS priority insured... Usually in the $40 range depending on distance and additional insurance...

I always found fed ex cheapest but the slowest. I like UPS or USPS but way better price if you print the label online. my bow boxes are usually around 40x16x4

i havent packaged it yet, they were going to charge me an extra 30 to package it

Package the bow yourself, about any bow shop will give you a bow box for free especially if your spending a little money with them. Aviod places like the UPS store. I ship most of my bows through the USPS and never had any issues.

I paid under $25 going USPS on my last bow..

I paid 38 at UPS store with them packaging as I didn't have a box. When I pack it myself, it averages 25 at UPS direct dropoff.

That's where the cost goes up. Do as baz77 says. Get a bow box from a local shop (for free). Wrap the bow in bubble wrap. I ship bows all over the place and a 40x15x3 (with insurance box) at about 6# costs me around $25 FedEx Ground from Pa. to Washington state. I sent one last year to Hawaii for $56.

FedEx for me. Ave is $25. But I package my own

UPS with insurance is the best. Buy online and save money, remember that UPS went to a volume based price system last year, so the smaller the box the cheaper it will be usually.

I have shipped a lot of bows USPS $18-$40 depending on destination, shipped one to Germany and one to New Zealand never a problem.

I just shipped my attitude back to Bear for some warranty work, shipped through UPS, with insurance for $500, and packed in the box, since I didn't have a box to fit it in, cost $95. Sounds like they should've gotten a little jar of vasaline along with my receipt lol.
