Update
Good news. I have secured an order of 60 poles at a discount price. We are supposed to keep quite who is helping us, for various reasons, but most of you know who he is, so thank him when you see him. The price with local tax works out to $760. We'll give polo legend a pole, so we'll have 59. That works out to $13 per pole.
Bad news. I did a quick look at DHL shipping costs and I came up with $229, i.e,. $4 per pole. Not bad in pounds, but still pretty steep. Anyone else want to look into any other shipping ideas?
Here are the pole dimensions:
Overall Length: 49"
Length of Straight Section: 35"
Diameter of Straight Section: 0.73"
Length of Taper: 14"
Diameter @ End of Taper: 0.46"
Powder Coated: "Eddie" Orange
Weight: 195 grams
Here's what I reckoned for packaging:
195 (grams) * 59 = 11,505 / 454 = 25 pounds.
Height: 53”
Length: .75 * 15 = 13”
Width: .75 * 4 = 4”
Anyone come up with anything different, or any better ideas?
