I just dropped off a package at Fedex and a guy appeared to be Fedexing about a 10' to 12' section of 4" PVC pipe. The ends weren't capped or anything, so it couldn't have been protecting anything...

WTF?

are you sure there wasn't a poster rolled up inside? capping the ends wouldn't have been necessary. maybe just a little tape once he got up to the counter.

Poster or blueprints were inside, I've seen it done before. It's smart, totally indestructable, good for really important stuff.

He could've been shipping a fishing rod in it. It's not uncommon for off shore rods to get that long.

Maybe, he didn't realize the hack saw has been invented.

it was posters, probably headed for my office :p

when i order posters for advertising bands i book, i get 400 posters, and they are really thick poster board. they are shipped in a PVC pipe so the ends, and corners are not bent or folded in anyway. becasue they dont roll easily, they usually 2-3 inch pipe.
