Message:: [QUOTE="dgbjwc, post: 66727, member: 308"]Hi Pat - here we go!  This is where the magic happens - my basement. The first photo shows the post office supplies I order - Priority Mail Box -7 (12" x 12" x 8"); Priority Mail Box - 4 (7" x 7" x 6"); and Priority Mail Stickers - Label 107 (Roll of 250).  I use the stickers if I use a regular cardboard box. [ATTACH=full]17253[/ATTACH] The next photos show what I meant by using a flat as a false bottom.  The false bottom provides a little bounce in case the item is dropped. [ATTACH=full]17254[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]17255[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]17256[/ATTACH] Next is the double-boxing procedure.  I wrap the item in butcher paper (left over from my own antique purchases); place a small flat inside the box, place a small piece of bubble wrap (also left over from my own purchases) inside the new flat; and put the item inside.  Then fill in with newspaper. [ATTACH=full]17257[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]17258[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]17259[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]17260[/ATTACH] Then put a second small flat on top to finish the double boxing.  Fill the top with more newspaper and you're good to go. [ATTACH=full]17261[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]17262[/ATTACH] I hit the maximum number of photos and I've got to leave for a doctor's appointment.  I've got a couple of more photos showing figurines that I'll put up when I get home.  Don[/QUOTE]
