[QUOTE="Duane Foster, post: 1037544, member: 70985"] I stopped at the UPS shipping center at the main terminal here to find out how this should be measured for shipping. Surprisingly, there were no customers there at 5:20, so I had the attention of both clerks. The news was not great. I decided to post what I found out as a reference for others since this question comes up from time to time. Info is for shipping from Iowa to Indiana. It gets measured as if it's boxed, whether it actually is or not. Assembled, it measures roughly 48x25x18. It weighs about 10 pounds as is, without any packaging. (The stainless extender is probably 5 lbs heavier.) In a box that size @ 12 pounds, the lowest cost is $278.70. It ships as 131 lbs. Without a box, it's another $10 as an irregular package. Disassembled, in a box 48x25x10 @12 lbs, it ships as 73lbs, and the cost is $61. It might weigh a little more than 12 lbs by the time I get it boxed, but it could well be less than 10" high. The tubes are 1 1/2", so it could easily get down to 6-8" which would cut the cost. These are retail prices. [/QUOTE]
