Here is another reason why Digitaka is so great. Last time I ordered a rod from them, I decided to see if they would allow me to tag on a few items with free shipping. I ended up adding somewhere between 20 and 30 not so small items to that order with no additional shipping charge. I was curious how they would pack it. In a couple of days, I received a huge rugged, elongated box with a cardboard rod tube and all other items inside. That could not have been cheap to ship.
