For people that have shipped sails out of Vancouver is there anywhere to source a free cardboard box for a 3m sail?
How was your experience shipping sails via Canada post?
Thanks

Does anyone know If Canada post allows you to ship "Normal" sized items without a box? I am a bit nervous about shipping it without one but maybe it can be done?... if rolled tightly(reaching inside the sail and grabbing the top of the mast sleeve to get it nice and tight) maybe pack newspapers inside the sail and put some cardboard along the sail inside the sail bag or tape around the leech as mentioned above since that is the weakest area of the sail. I think this will work as long as something with much weight isn't put on top of it. Box would be better if we can find one.

I might be shipping some equipment to Ontario soon, so would be helpful.
