Yes, I have shipped such packages. I believe UPS's limit is 165" total, length and girth. Your package in a PVC tube shouldn't be a problem. BTW, there are different wall thicknesses of PVC..the stuff used for drain pipe has thinner walls, but the same O.D. so the same fittings work between types of pipe. So, if it makes any difference concerning getting the item in the tube, choose the thin wall drain pipe instead of schedule 40 or some such, which is rated for higher pressure and has thicker walls.
