Message:: [QUOTE="BadThad, post: 1129240, member: 17261"]I primarily use the padded envelope like the others. I always use 2x2's or flips and, if the coin is nice/valuable, I'll tape cardboard around it. I also tape ALL edges of the envelope because I've had the PO rip them, the coins fall out, and the receiver gets an empty envelope. You can never use too much tape on the outside. For larger sales, really expensive coins or rolls, I always use a small box with everything inside a ziplock with tight bubble wrapped inside. Using a ziplock is almost always a good idea in case the package gets dropped in water. On expensive shipments, I also put a note in the bag "REWARD IF FOUND" along with my contact info and the buyers contact info. Always use tracking or delivery confirmation....ALWAYS! To me, that's more important than insurance. I don't much like insurance unless it's going over $300 in value because it's almost worthless. Based on what I've heard, it's very difficult and time consuming to collect on insurance.....plus, IMO, it kind of puts a red flag on your package that something is valuable inside which might tip-off a crook.[/QUOTE]
