I was reading another post about shipping charges and it got me to thinking.
In that particular case, the issue that started it all was the purchase of a bundle of FQs - six yards in all - and whether it would all have fit into a USPS flat-rate envelope.
Many FQ bundles are beautifully packaged by the fabric manufacturer, tied with a ribbon or plastic-wrapped. But the bundle might be too "chunky" to fit into a flat-rate envelope.
So my question is... would you be upset if your bundle was taken apart before shipping, so that it would fit in a flat-rate envelope? It wouldn't be as pretty. But shipping costs could be lower.
