Also of note; UPS and FedEx will accept packages up to 108 inches in length - you can ship it rolled up. Using the UPS website, I just priced sending an 80" X 12" X 12" 30lb package about 400 miles and it's $32.77...that beats folding it! Besides, if it was the sailmaker's mistake, they should pay for shipping. Thanks, BTW, for not trashing the sailmaker publicly.
