[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 220242, member: 4653"] When I was in 5th grade we had a class project called "Egg Or Not". Basically we were to throw an egg off of the the school roof (about 40 feet high) and we could use whatever means neccessary to keep it from breaking. Everytime I ship a package I keep this concept in mind. I consider my object an egg and package it with the thought it could break like an egg. I've seen first hand what happens to our packages and duct (quack, quack), tape (LOL) just won't suffice. It needs to wrapped in bubble wrap and placed in a box with foam peanuts in it. This box must have a piece of paper with all the shipping info in it for back-up. Then this must be placed in a larger box with more foam peantuts or crumpled newspaper. The shipping label should be placed on the outside of this carton and then sealed with packing tape (not masking or duct tape). And too much tape in never enough. If you don't take all those steps, then I don't feel sorry that your item was damaged. And that is Browniehound's fail-safe way of packing an item for delivery through the UPS system.:) [/QUOTE]
