[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1155590, member: 14668"] We wont pay a claim on light bulbs unless each individual bulb is encased in 4" of expanded polystyrene foam. It would cost more to ship a bulb in this manner than the bulb itself is worth because you could only fit a couple of bulbs in each box. It is actually cheaper for the shipper to omit the padding, pack as many bulbs as possible in each box, and accept that some will break in transit. A lot of light bulb shippers will "overfill" a customers order; if the customer orders 30 bulbs they will ship 32 of them on the assumption that an average of 2 per box will break en route. [/QUOTE]
