Need Some Feedback On Shipping

[Scorchin Civic]

Have a question guys and gals. For the most part I always use a cardboard box with packing peanuts and bubble wrap the casting when I ship something I sold on E-Bay. However, sometimes if the casting is small I will bubble wrap it and place it in a bubble padded envelope.

My question is, is mailing items in a bubble padded envelope really a bad ideal? I have not had anyone send me a message saying something negative about it. So thought I would ask here to get some feedback from the RLOL community.

I would say that I would never use a padded envelope for a car. I received one that looked ok on the outside, but the roof was squished on the car. If you can afford to return the money for the car + shipping to save a couple of bucks, then go for it. My 2 cents. Kevin

Yes.....it really is.

i think if you were to send someone a car here, in a bubble env. You would get railed pretty good. No one likes that with hot wheels especially. They can easily be crushed. I would never do it, and would not expect someone else to send me something in a bubble mailer. Bad idea. Thats Just MHO
