Shipping now available, or will meet within 60 miles of Chippewa Falls, WI $120

mfliehr	08/15/2019 11:56AM   Thanks for the question. I have updated the listing. Appreciate your feedback!
mfliehr	08/15/2019 11:57AM   My wife has a small shaft Sawyer that has been her go-to for years. She's staying with that. As for me, I have enough paddles (Is that possible?)
mfliehr	08/11/2019 11:27AM   Just returning to work after a 5 wk medical leave. Pulling 14 hour days. Just no time to deal with what needs to be done to ship.
LindenTree	08/18/2019 10:29AM   mfliehr: "Shipping now available. It will most likely not be cheap, due to the size. " FYI, It cost about 20.00 to ship a paddle from the L-48 to Alaska via US Postal Service a couple years ago. Not a bad deal considering I saved about 100.00 by buying it on this forum. I'm guessing it will be a bit cheaper than that if shipping it in the contential US. Good luck with your sale.
LindenTree	08/11/2019 10:20AM   Curious why you can't ship? I had a BWCA member ship a Sanborn paddle from the L-48 to me in Soldotna Alaska. Things went fine with no damage to the paddle. Shipped US Postal Service.
