This item will be shipped with the recipient paying the shipping costs. This item is relisted because the previous winning bidder did not purchase it. This is the third time it has been relisted. Please refrain from bidding if you do not intend to purchase the item. Length is approximately 68 cm. Includes a storage bag and protector. As I don't have a suitable cardboard box, I will wrap it in bubble wrap and then in a plastic bag. It will be shipped via Yu-Pack as a fragile item. The packaging is amateur and inexpensive. Please refrain from bidding if you are overly concerned about the packaging.
