<p>[QUOTE="dgbjwc, post: 66550, member: 308"]One other tip I use a lot. I pick up flats for free at auctions and at Sam's club. They can make a nice "false floor" on the bottom of your mailing box. If the flat is too big just rip it in half and slide the halves together. It puts a little bounce under your interior box to help cushion a drop. Unfortunately no matter how hard you try and how good you pack you will lose items. I had one box recently that looked like it had been speared by a forklift. Nothing could have survived that. In case of breakage ask your buyer to send pictures. You'll need them for your claim.</p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
