We invite you to visit our eBay Store  The key to shipping is to visualize what the package will look like when it is delivered.  Take into consideration that the package may be exposed to bad weather such as rain or that it may be exposed to machinery that could bend or fold the package, or that the delivery person may try to put the package into a mailbox that is smaller than the item.   In order to prevent our items from being folded or bent during shipping I always put the items into a protective sleeve and then put the item between  two pieces of sturdy cardboard that are larger than the item and then I put the item into  a bubble envelope.  I always stamp the package PLEASE DO NOT BEND.

Another thing to remember is that tape and paper don't mix.  Always put your item into a protective sleeve before using tape near the item.
