Just something that goes through my mind, especially this time of year, with shipping things. I sell things on eBay and on here, and buy way too much!!!
Several years ago, I took a tip from the quilt shops that I order fabrics from to be sent to me. I try to make sure that the fabrics are in plastic, not a ziploc (don't want to hold in the moisture), but just folded over and scotch-taped. This prevents the fabrics becoming wet for when the rain or snow is all over our mailboxes, or the mail man leaves it at the door and then a rainstorm hits! I even try to do this with books.
I used to have quite a supply of clear heavy duty plastic bags, but have run out of them. I use bakery bags for my smaller pieces.
I guess my final thought is: don't be surprised if I send you something that arrives in a garbage bag (yes, it's clean....lol) inside the box! And, if anyone purchases anything from me that was not packaged appropriately, please let me know so that I may rectify the situation.
