<p>[QUOTE="TallCakes, post: 165690, member: 107"]so I went looking thru eBay on packing glass I found what looked to be some excerpted "advice" on shipping glass. One of those said to pack with Styrofoam, which may be okay to provide some insulation similar to double boxing. But if you pack glass tightly with rigid Styrofoam it is likely that the glass will surely break when the box get bumped. My preferred method is to securely wrap the cake stands I sell with several layers of bubble wrap, add shipping 'peanuts' to the bottom of the box, nestle the bubble wrapped package at an angle into the 'peanuts' being careful to have 3"-4" of clearance from the box, and then adding enough 'peanuts' on top compress slightly and firmly hold the wrapped glass in place. So far I've not had any breaks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
