Packaging Suggestions
Uline’s 7 ¼ x 12” #1 Self-Seal Bubble-Lined Polyolefin Mailers, Model No. S-7544, minimum order 100 each, are the least expensive packaging I have found to ship individual Hose Lift units to customers. See:

And, as my good friend Johan from the UK says: “It fits though a letter slot, so no need for delivery confirmation”.
If a first order smaller quantity is desired, Unline’s 9 x 6 x 2” Corrugated Boxes, Model No. S-1369, can be purchased 25 at a time. See:

Mailing Notes
I have found the US Postal Service to generally be the least expensive way to ship the individual unit. As of April 2010, $2.10 will ship the poly mailer unit anywhere in the continental USA, and arrive to your customer in 2 to 4 days. In the corrugated boxes above, it is $2.60, all else equal.
