I would hope that you would could consider sending your strings another way then UPS! Paying $18 shipping and then $35 in brokerage fees is unacceptable !
I have ordered guitar strings from Stringjoy and only paid $8.

After a couple decades using Elixirs, then D’Addario XS, XT, and regular strings in various gauges… I believe these are my new favorites. The gauge choices work magic on my mandolin.
