Rod tubes and couriers??

[RobAdair]

I've got a few rods that I need to send via a courier and was wondering:

A) where I will get those cardboard tubes with the plastic end caps that you get when you buy a rod mail order?

And

B) What couriers people use, is there much difference in service and prices?

Cheers lads, Rob.

Or go to the local DIY shop and buy some plastic gutter tubes.

just what I was gonna say! possibly cheaper than carboard art tubes as well (get them from wards behind the fed brewery)

try Interparcel : Discount UK & International Parcel Delivery & Courier Services

about a tenner for a next day delivery and they come and collect too!
