I have been receiving mirrors for coating by
UPS
and by U. S. mail.
This has worked well with no breakage or damage.
UPS wants mirrors double boxed. Wrap the mirror in an
old towel and put in a brown sack. Tape up the sack with
wrapping tape. Place the inner package in a larger cardboard
box padding with wadded newspapers or bubble wrap or
Styrofoam popcorn. I will not handle shipping insurance
claims if the mirror was not wrapped properly.
Mirrors have been taking five days from Oregon to
San Carlos, CA and costing about $8 for UPS ( ground ) shipping.
Turn around time here has been averaging four days or less.
I have been asking $7 per package to rewrap and deliver the
packages to the UPS office. I will mail a letter after
shipping to verify shipment.
There is no UPS ground available from Hawaii so
U. S. Mail service may be less expensive from Hawaii.
When you ship the mirror you will know the shipping
price. Mail me a letter if you want me to know the mirror
is on its way. In the letter include coating fee,
UPS charge for return, plus $7.
