Hi all...well, weather it's your first packing job, or you've been through plenty, I've found a GREAT Inevpensive way to SHIP and keep your items from breaking!

Simply wrap your item in several layers of newspaper. ( if there is a cavity, make sure it is packed full also.)....then take some of your packing tape and wrap around the newspaper...it seems to make it so much more durable.

I use a LOT of shredded paper...(bought a paper shredder for $8 and have saved hundreds on packing peanuts....also..check your local stores and ask if they have any packing material...most businesses LOVE it if you come and pick it up..that way it's not in their way until their trash guy comes!!  It saves you bundles and keeps items extra secure....packing peanuts are your friends!!!

clear packing tape is actually quite cheap if you catch it on sale..i bought a case of 36 rolls for a little over $20 at staples.com...and sign up for the REWARDS program at staples, and you'll get FREE shipping on EVERYTHING you order!! IT's well worth the 2 seconds it takes to fill out the info to do it!

Feel free to ask any questions you might have!

I had to teach myself all this stuff...I don't want to see anyone else have all the struggles i did....LIve and learn...

Good luck all!
