Last year, I shipped my backpack UPS from my home in Florida to Angel's Rest Hiker Haven in Pearisburg; no problems. This year, because of lack of options, I have to mail it USPS to Pawling, NY. I'm a little leary of checking it thru on Delta Airlines, even though last year I had no problems checking it thru on Alligient Airlines from Newburgh, NY back home to Florida. I just can't take the chance of the airlines pulling anything out of the backpack.
I've heard horror stories about shipping backpacks via USPS. Anyone with advice on this would be appreciated.
I do have 2 other options of sending it other than USPS.... (UPS or Fed Ex): The Native Garden Center on NY-22, and the Dutchess Motel in Wingdale.
Any advice or past experiences shipping backpacks would be appreciated!
