I'm curious as to what size banners you are talking about...

Gotchya! Here's where I wonder.... why would the price be different? The weight can't possibly change that much, does it?
We roll ours, around a smaller tube, put the clear sleeve back over it, wrap with clear packaging tape, and send USPS.
Usually around $15 Duckies, +/- a few pennies. That's anywhere in the US.
I will never ship anything UPS again after what they did to my shipment to Austin from North Texas. Aluminum Signs, bent the hell out of them.
Then they won't pay the claim.
Later. Off to the Big D!

Dimensional weight matters a whole lot. Banners generally ship for alot more $ than just their weight.
We ship hundreds of banners and don't fold hardly any of them. The shipping costs hurt, but they are better than creases and angry customers.
Have you tried rolling banners in a smaller box? Maybe a 4x4x48" box for example on a 4x8?
We stock box sizes at about every foot so we don't ship a bunch of air with a banner.

I've never heard of folding a banner, unless it was wa-a-ay oversized, but it will still be rolled, then folded and stuck into a large tube. At 48", there is no reason to fold them. None. You'll be doing your customer a disservice with that creation.
How can something that the customer is paying for..... be too expensive ?? What, like $2 or $3 more ??

FedEx and UPS have been charging a $10.50 surcharge for any packages 48"+. You need to get the boxes to less than 48". Tough to do for 4' x 6'+ banners.

From 4over's website:
4over doesn't seem to have any jump in shipping costs (UPS or Purolator) when the package crosses the 48" or 96" length threshold. I'm looking at Canada to Canada shipping, so it may vary depending where you're shipping to and from.
