Q: If I live too far away, is it possible to mail my arrowheads to you? If so, how do I safely package them for shipping?
A: Yes, it is quite common for arrowheads to be mailed to us from around the globe. The process is easy, and when properly packaged and insured, completely safe and trouble free. Arrowheads can be surprisingly fragile, so each one should be wrapped separately in bubble wrap or other padding (tissue paper, newspaper, cloth, etc.) that will protect them from bumping into each other during transit. If you simply place a group of arrowheads in a bag and mail them you can expect breakage which will seriously hurt their value.
