London umbrella store, kite box
As I've indicated, I bought a £40 kite at a store in York, now I had the trick of getting the somewhat fragile and very long object it home safely. It was hard enough keeping it safe on the Underground; I was up to looking into the special luggage rules for "sport equipment" on British Airways, my carrier back to NYC.
Fortunately, the long and thing package would meet requirements that would allow me to take it on for free so long as it was properly sealed in a stiff package. Where to find this package in the few hours I had left in the city? I had a stroke of genius when I passed an umbrella shop: this store sold nothing but the classiest bumbershoots and bumbershoot accessories. You could spend over $100 on one umbrella.
I walked in and asked if they shipped umbrellas. They did. I asked to see one of the boxes they shipped them in, and explained my purpose. I had luggage with me, and I am sure I looked quite out of place as I sat on my suitcase and used the borrowed tape to seal my umbrella into a good, sturdy cardboard box made for sending umbrellas, almost the perfect size for my purpose requiring just a minimal flexing of the kite that I knew it could withstand. They gave me some good tips, but it was not all charity: they charged me an outrageous £7.50 for the box.
