I so agree with you. I ordered the flat rate padded envelopes and love them for my ebay stuff. For my secret pal, I have to use a medium flat rate box to hold all their stuff.

Also one strip around the outside in the middle - supposedly protecting the address but really holding it all in. The new plastic envelopes cost just a little more to ship than the flmsy cardboard ones, but I think worth it.
