Not exactly the most moral thing to do, but when I ship sway bars (I’ve shipped about 7 now) I don’t put them in a box, but rather cover it in wrapping paper, then bubble wrap, then wrapping paper, then packing tape.

When they try to measure the weight at USPS, the shape of the package is so unruly that they will be unable to get an accurate weight measurement as one end of the package will always be touching the table, resulting in the shipping cost being 1/2 to 1/3 of what it normally be.

But of course, shipping it in a box is the correct thing to do
