slym2none Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Bumping this thread for the newbies and for everyone - I just sent off a package with some books I sold on eBay, and I am damn glad I take the time to pack well. As my mailman got back in his Jeep, I watched him fling the box into the back of it. Seriously, package any book you send out how you would want it to arrive to you if you were the buyer - if not better. (thumbs u -slym Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flikhype Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Today I received a very intelligently wrapped, yet effective parcel. I suppose most of the items used are relatively below average cost? I am not so sure about that but I do know this one survived the journey from USA to Singapore in one piece. Another guide for sellers looking for reference. I did a collage out of the many layers for easier viewing. Thank you AntBrown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Love Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 The Stephen Gould #35 box, for shipping 30+ slabs - has anyone been able to purchase one, or is it a custom solution for CGC? And has anyone duplicated the inner floating structure - essentially a box within a box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockMyAmadeus Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 One more time....the Medium Flat Rate boxes DO NOT provide enough room for impact damage. Use the 1095s. Can anyone spot what went wrong with this book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockMyAmadeus Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 no wait.... Totleben's hand trembled when he ended off the "N" in his signature??? dang....this is hard.... any clue? Not quite sure how shipping a slab in a medium flat rate box would make Totleben's hand tremble... Maybe from outrage, but you'd need a time machine to make it happen.

Meeklo Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 It looks like the cover may have come off from the book or is that the paper they put into the book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a result of it's shipping method? The cover isn't entirely detached, but it is significantly torn at both staples, and the interior is now sticking up 1/8" at the top edge. And yes, this happened because of impact during shipping. Slabs need "float room" to prevent them from being harshly jarred in transit. This is usually accomplished through bubble wrap. The Flat Rate boxes have just enough space for the slab and maybe a single layer of bubble wrap. This is not effective at preventing this type of damage. While not foolproof, had the book been surrounded with bubble wrap, the impact to the box may have been absorbed by the bubble wrap, and potentially eliminating the damage shown (which has ruined the book. It is no longer a 9.6.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
