Thanks for the visual. I'll remember this when mailing packages.

Looks like it cam by messenger pigeon through a blizzard!

Good grief!

My goodness i will remember this before i send out a package

Are you sure they didn't just tow it behind the truck? LOL Glad that you got it safe and in good shape.

WOW!

Ok, this is all very good information. I think I better go find some "poly bags". I didn't know they made them, until just recently when *kriscraft99* sent me a package last week.

I've looked at my local Meijer Store and they don't carry them...so I think I better take a trip to Staples ... I'm sure they will carry them, right!

Here's to safer deliveries for all.

I once got a sewing machine that was shipped in a much too large box with about a grocery sack full of those packing peanuts. Needless to say the box was all bent up and the machine had several broken parts. Looked like it had been dropped or thrown. So now if I bid on a sewing machine I ask how it will be shipped!

And this is why the Postal service wants an increase in price...So they can have more mail to do more damage...Glad your book survived!

I have that book and I love it. Glad it arrived safe so you can use it.
