QUOTE(mjda @ Aug 12 2010, 05:55 PM) Not that I'm condoning cheap/lazy shipping, but if you get a card that isn't damaged there's really no reason to complain unless you were charged excessive shipping costs. I'd like for everyone to ship my cards to me the same way that I ship out cards, but as long as they get to me without a scratch I could care less how they're shipped. As long as you get the card in the condition that you expected to get the card in, and weren't charged excessive shipping fees, it should be a great buy/sale/trade for everyone involved. I would disagree from the standpoint that although one arrived safely, that does not make the pratice of not protecting the cards the proper way to mail. What about the others that don't? If you make people aware before this happens, it is better than afterwards IMO. I think the best approach when trading/selling is to "send the way you want to receive".

I think the best approach when trading/selling is to "send the way you want to receive". Like I said, I'm not condoning this method of shipping, nor did I say it was the proper way. You've received enough packages from me to know that the cards I, myself, mail out are very well protected. All I'm saying is that if you receive a card from someone and the card isn't damaged there's no reason to complain about that particular transaction or leave a neutral/negative feedback unless you paid excessive shipping. If you're going to complain, complain about the shipping practice as a whole. Leaving a neutral or negative feedback for someone who got the card to you in the condition you were expecting it to get to you is, in my opinion, not right.

QUOTE(Icrackwax @ Aug 15 2010, 08:57 PM) Dang, my shop (which I'm not a fan of. It's more of a movie/game store really, but they have a lot of packs and supply) charges $4 plus tax for a packs of penny sleeves. It's $5 to 25 toploaders! I should call them nickel sleeves. Anyway, I always try to send in penny sleeves (even though I might not by accident sometime). I just got my first pack of team bags so now I can stop using tape! For some reason, this is exciting to me. Let me know if you need sleeves as I could send them to you for less than that as I bought a case for my group breaks. Buy my toploaders that way also, but shipping on those might make it not much cheaper. QUOTE(Icrackwax @ Aug 15 2010, 09:01 PM) Is shipping all the base in team bags okay? I did that for the break I did recently, so please feel free to tell me if you don't like it. Thanks. I put those bags between ones with the toploader hits, or sandwich that in a couple of used toploaders for my breaks (hope I explained that so it makes sense), everything goes into team bags even ones in toploaders as one never knows it it will get dropped in a puddle or what.

I totally agree, Dwight. I believe I received one of your "pockets" before. If not, then I've received one from other traders and they work well. The Post Office does not care about our items. If they get here safely is one thing, but if they don't is another and neither of those is something the Post Office is too concerned with. I'm sure if you've (everyone) been sending packages a while, then you more than likely agree. It's not about overkill, but making a reasonable attempt to protect the cards. I dislike overkill as much as inadequate protection. By looking at some of these suggestions, we can all cheaply, safely and time efficiently protect the treasures that we hold so dear. It just requires someone to want to try. That's what I think most are missing when they send incorrectly. That's why I previously stated I would leave a neutral. That's why I started the thread. Thanks to everyone for your suggestions and remarks. QUOTE(urbanmonk @ Aug 16 2010, 02:36 AM) I cut up the bubble mailers I receive (used one) to make a pocket to put cards I'm shipping into. Kind of like double mailing it for extra protection, and those don't add much weight to package for the extra protection. I don't know about the rest of you but I have received some that look like they got ran over (stuck in their sorting machine or something). Kind of an "to each their own" as I worry about the integrity of a used mailer, and I like to prevent any problems (granted with overkill in my case ) as when I'm receiving something I would like to get it in the same ship it was shipped in as I'm sure others would like to receive that way from me.
