[QUOTE="rhiwfield, post: 165374, member: 924"]Not sure about others but we always read the notes left for us. Sometimes they just say thanks, others it may be a change of address or a request to delay posting as they are off on hols. We understand that some buyers may ask for careful packaging and the reasons why, it is the "how they ask" that is important. In our case we think we know how to pack and a buyers request will normally make little difference.

Some sellers may not have the experience to pack well and a note on the lines of "hope you don't mind, but we've had a few breakages in parcels sent to us and we find that doing it this way usually avoids damage", with a para on how to pack, may be of benefit, and the experienced seller should not mind such a request.[/QUOTE]
