Make sure when you buy a cookie jar that the seller knows how to pack them for shipping. We have found that all the jars that we bought an were shipped to us were not always packed right. We found that wraping them in bubble wrap was the best an safest way to get them in one piece. I would ask the seller how they package them before you buy and if they have had any problems. If your a seller I would highly recomend using bubble wrap and making sure the jar does not touch any part of the outside box, this will in sure they arrive safely
