So I see all these stories here about items received being hosed and/or 100% loss. Most of these horror stories could've had a happy ending if time, care and common sense was used. I've personally been victimized twice by people that wrapped things loosely with one layer of the small bubble wrap and sent it bouncing in a USPS priority mail box. If the proper amount of bubble wrap and/or packing peanuts would've been used all this could've been avoided. Yes, like myself I understand people don't own any shipping supplies and always have to buy stuff when they ship. What irritates me is which most people fail to take that into consideration and they basically act like you're price gouging them.
I suppose a person could mark their item cost up to incorporate the material cost but then you'll still have people complain about the asking price. Lose lose situation I guess.??
So the point of my long winded post is would you rather:
1.) Pay a little extra to receive a product that was protected to the hilt
or
2.) Pay the absolute least amount and take the chance of receiving damaged merchandise.
Me personally, I ALWAYS insure the item for more than it's worth at NO extra cost to the customer AND I use the thick bubble wrap to ensure there is NO chance I can be held liable for improperly packaged goods. So I vote for option #1
