I've ordered these tubes many times but these were different. They no longer seem to have the coating on the outside and I'm concerned they might be less resistant to moisture.
I purchased the mailing tubes for my wife to ship Christmas door and wall hangings with dowels to hang. She rolls the panel and puts it in the tube. Nothing could be simpler!! The tubes are thick walled and perfect protection.
I liked these mailing tubes because they are solid and easy to use. All the tubes I have mailed so far have made to the clients. All you can ask.The price was good and I could order just 12 instead of the 36 minimum required by other companies.
When sending out Family Genealogy charts to various relatives a good tube beats a 24" X 36 envelope when chart might be 54" long and has to be handled by a dozen different people to make the trip
These tubes are sturdy and well made. They shipped to my home without charge and arrived within two days of my order at the store. The end caps fit perfectly. This is a good product. A little pricey perhaps but not the usual product that everyone may want so it works for me.
