silverweb silverweb If you have a dream about out-posting me, you better wake up and apologize. Registered: 02/18/07 Posts: 2783 Loc: San Francisco Bay Area	Originally Posted By: blue808 If the books are expensive just pay a couple extra bucks and use a regular box or double box within a flate rate box. For single slabs, I use a USPS 1092 box within a 1095 box. For two slabs, I put the 1092 inside a Medium flat rate box. Great protection and free from the USPS!

On a weekend once a few years back, we ran a strip of it over with our largest forklift. It didn't pop. We had to drive the forklift up an incline and have it come down on the bubble wrap to pop it. One of the guys tried to jump on it, but fell on his butt because it wouldn't pop. So now they give it to me instead of throwing it away and I use it to pack Priority Mail boxes for slabbed and raw comics. Great stuff. I've never seen anything quite like it for sale in stores. I've had reports from people I sold to (on eBay) about their boxes being quite mangled but the contents still being perfectly fine with none of the bubbles popped. _________________________ “In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”

The damaged side was wet, as if it fell in water and stayed there awhile. Someone taped it up and sent it on its way. The slab fortunately was not damaged because it was wrapped in bubble wrap and put inside a FedEx bubble mailer. $\:\)$ Note the "Handle With Care - Fragile" sticker. Yeah... right. _________________________

drall drall Hobbyist Registered: 10/13/11 Posts: 41	I ship slabs like this. Double poly bagged Double small bubble wrapped Double large bubble wrapped Planked with rigid cardboard front and back Large bubble wrapped again Boxed Boxed again Yet to have a cracked slab complaint or any other. I ship raws to CGC and customers like this Bag/Board Magazine bag 8 in a bag and carefully pull bag tight and tape. Double small bubble wrapped Double large bubble wrapped CGC inbound go double boxed Customers under $50 go regular boxed 10000 plus books shipped with nothing but rav reviews /knock on wood YMMV
