I’d like to share my experience for anyone making this purchase. I purchased this rod on January 20th. It was delivered to my house on January 24th. The packaging was terriable, a thin clear plastic sleeve, of course the rod was broken and contacted woot for a assistance. . Woot provided a
return label to send the rod back and issued a replacement. I stuck the return label on the same package the item came in and not 1 UPS store in my area will accept the package unless i pay to repackage it. As far as the replacemnt goes… its been sitting in Mississippi since Jan 27th. Contacted woot and was told experienceing delays with my order and unable to know when it will arrive. Not sure if thats just mine or the others still being sold on the site. Looking back I should have paid the extra money and bought it at Academy
Hi there. Sorry for the problems with this order. This was shipped by Amazon and we don’t have any say in how they package or what shipping method they use. 
I do see that CS took care of you yesterday.
