I found that wrapping the stick/fork in bubble wrap and folding that into a triangle of reused sturdy cardboard taped closed securely so nothing inside could wiggle was quite protective enough to use an unpadded envelope. If you have enough cardboard laying around it is fairly easy to make a smaller box. Wrapped in a cut up brown paper bag and taped well it passes UPSP muster. Domestic shipping currently runs from around 4.50 to $6 depending on the destination. I don’t know what the current international rates ar but last time I shipped it was around $16.
