[QUOTE="Pat P, post: 66545, member: 201"]I'd like to start listing EAPG pieces I have, plus other glass and ceramic items. The ceramics range from delicate porcelain to heavy pottery. Other than very small items, I have very little experience shipping glass or ceramics and it makes me a bit nervous. I'd love some advice on these issues, which might be helpful for others, too, in the future... 1. Are the squarish Priority Mail boxes strong enough or is it better to use your own boxes? 2. If you use your own boxes, what sizes do you keep in stock? 3. When do you double box, when don't you bother? 4. When double-boxing, is 2" between the boxes on all sides the best way to do it? 5. How do you do the interior packaging... materials, thickness, etc.? Thanks! :)[/QUOTE]
