I work at a company that sells small electronic devices and we always ship in boxes and use bubble wrap or peanuts to protect our product. Our product has a very good warranty on it. I can't believe how many people ship their products back to us in a padded envelope... It's electronics, for goodness sake. Then I have to call them and tell them that I can't replace their product under warranty because of the damage that was caused by improper packaging. And if they call or email us, I always ask them to use a box NOT a padded envelope but at least half the time it still comes that way...Yes the dumbing down of America!
