Description
i saw that had submitted a journal a while ago about how to package your materials. i figured i'd show how i package stuff. the post office usually wraps stuff in the back, so unless you ask them, they won't show you how to package your materials.like i said, i usually use bubblewrap, but i accidentally threw mine away
"HELLO SIR/MA'AM! MY NAME IS MR. BOX, AND I'D BE VERY APPRECIATIVE IF YOU WERE TO TURN ME OVER NOW, FOR I DO NOT ENJOY OTHERS VIEWING MY BUTTOCKS FOR PROLONGED PERIODS OF TIME.
MUCH OBLIGED,
M. Oving Box"
aren't i just hysterical?

hahaha! zomg, rofl! ^___^ This is a very cute tutorial and it addresses a lot of the problems I have trying to ship stuffs!
I have found that a really cheap way to make sure small pieces are not as horribly broken, is to use polyester filling, the type normally used for stuffed animals. Plus, it's useful because the person on the receiving end can use it for stuffing animals, or for sending off more stuff to other people. o.o! Not as messy as peanuts.
I shall have to try something like this for the next few shipments probably. I haven't shipped bottles before.
I have shipped eggs though...and god....eggs are a nightmare to ship. and I think sometimes, the USPS folks might just kick it around for fun... ~_~ because it says "fragile" on it... It's why I stopped taking egg commissions...because they rarely arrived in one piece, and those durn things take forever, plus I kept getting comments like, "Well if you use a x-y-z- machine to make the rope you can get neater clay canes...yadda yadda..." O_o; dude, it's clay, it's for fun, I'm not buying a machine to make clay ropes. Pssh! lol.

i'm just so happy none of my pieces have arrived in pieces (pun intended!) just yet. oh jeez, packing peanuts are such a pain!! i remember that one time, we didn't ship off a package immediately, and the post person didn't tape up the box, so the peanuts got ALL OVER my car! but i've never heard of using polyester filling, so i just might have to look into that, thanks!

Polyester holds really small things well. I used it for shipping carved goose eggs, where I really really really needed the fibers to absorb and never let things get shaken around. Packing peanuts = broken goose eggs. Polyester = less broken goose eggs.
With polyester, I can ship through most of the US....but internationally, it still got crushed.
