Dumb me and F USPS

[tjanse]

So I have never had a issue with shipping before besides a few small things. But the one time I dont insure something that I sold bam this happens. I will eat this and make good with the buyer. I always double wrap too.

thats some big time destruction for a double wrapped package

[mschmidt]

The medium flat rate boxes suck for shipping slabs - they're not tall enough, so there's not enough room to protect the slab on the top & bottom.

 

A much better combo is the USPS-1092 box inside the USPS-1095 box - postage should be about the same as well.

You have to order them on the USPS website.

They're free and they deliver them to your house.

Yeah thats the problem I have and they never ever show up and to top it off the post master just like well try again. Never a good answer. Just going to start shipping diff. I will try to go to my other post office in diff area see if better luck.

Yeah .. what other's have stated: put an order in for the 1092 and 1095 - 1 slab properly protected in this double box configuration will be exactly 2.0lbs (possibly a bit less) and the rate will be less than the flat rate box. A second slab will increase the weight and in some cases it will still be cheaper to ship this way than with the flat rate.

 

I can typically ship a slab to a boardie with insurance for cheaper than the flat rate w/out insurance and it is protected better.

FWIW, in case you think he's BSing, twice now I've ordered those 1092 boxes from USPS and mine never showed up either.

dang. My last order took 10 days to get to me. Have not been screwed on an order yet but it is USPS and that could happen at any moment.

You might want to consider removing the mailing addresses.

 

Why would insurance cover that?

The box was not compromised.

Based on Michael's advice, I just ordered 75 of each.

Hey man, if you can't get these up there, tell me what boxes you want and how many and I will order them for you and you can pick them up at the Phoenix show. If you need them sooner, my parents live in Show Low and I may be able to arrange for them to bring them up.

I just reordered some and spoke with a few other postal people. I will let you know either way thanks. But I do plan on stopping by booth too.

You guys just reminded me to re-up on my 1095s.

 

Running low.

What's your 1092/1095 technique exactly?

 

I haven't tried double boxing, but my idea of it would be something along the lines of: bubble wrap the slab, place in 1092, add cushioning to 1095, place 1092 in 1095, add extra cushioning to 1095 and seal.

Jeremy,

 

I think that your local Post Office has a dumb employee. I just got a box from you and it looks exactly like the picture of the box you posted. My book arrived safely, but it looks like someone sat on the box.

errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Maybe I should make a Youtube tutorial and everyone can watch how to properly pack a box??
