How to ship boompoles

In our 20 years we have shipped a lot of boompoles – A LOT! We’ve also received a good number boompoles. So, we like to think we know a bit about shipping boompoles.
When we ship boompoles, we use bubblewrap to make sure the booms don’t rattle side-to-side and top-to-bottom. It’s also very important to make sure that the ends of the box/tube that you’re using are reinforced (a generous amount of tape works) so they won’t bust open by the shifting boompole inside.
When using poster-tubes, always make sure that plenty of tape (AND staples, if possible) is used to make sure the end-caps don’t come off (we regularly receive empty poster tubes with a missing end-cap (and no boompole).
We love our boompoles, even long after they leave our factory, and the thought of a lost & loney boompole in some delivery truck makes us sad. #savetheboompoles
