Please smash its for Fred Q
« on: July 15, 2019, 03:29:52 PM »
every time I get one of these boxes with hollow inside this is what happens
Should the small supplier pack with Styrofoam peanuts or add some packing on the inside?

Hey Fred been in the same situation. A while back I bought a kit from Dane. It was very well packaged by him in the same kind of box. It arrived at my front door looking like a horse shoe. Needless to say the kit was mangled to pieces. If you haven"t opened it, I wouldn't. You might have a chance to recoup what you spent. Don't ask me how I know this. Ed.

Those are free from the post office and the ONLY thing I ever shipped in them were plans.  When I was shipping kits, I bought 5 fold boxes from ULine .   They measure 37" long by 5" wide by 4" high.  I think I had to buy a minimum of 50 but when you are shipping kits that is not bad. 

Anyway, I feel your pain and sorry it happened.  I had a customer back a few years ago who got a kit that had a fork lift tire track across it.

What is it it says at the right top there ?

Id be inclined to put a little motion detector activated camera in one to record the fun / culprits .
It appears the postal service employes a few imbaciles .

Fred,
It seems that some postal employees hate those triangular mailers. The priority mail automatically comes with some insurance. It was $50.00 I think it may now be more. You should have the shipper file a claim.
