You mean we shouldn't use bubble mailers...? I send everything out in bubble mailers. Especially big boxes. If it won't fit, make it fit...

Man that does suck! Sorry to see that Mags.

Actually I don't mind having someone use a bubble mailer if they are smart about it. I use them myself BUT I sandwich the steel between 2 hard pieces of cardboard and make the pieces bigger then the steel so that the edges of the cardboard take any impact.


Although seeing how bad those steels were damaged I am not sure a box could have saved them... damn those impacts must have been something.

I've also been known to use the cardboard sandwich approach - the gears of war was like that but the card was smaller than the steel... It's going to happen from time to time just hate the waste of great steels!!!

The seller has been brilliant on GOWJ

bubble thingys are overkill in my eyes, I just prefer to throw everything out the window and hope it lands somewhere close to the buyer

But on a serious note, that really does blow goats Mags March over to the plant pots that sent them and give em a kicking!!

Thought I was the only one on here who did this! I like replacing the boring green case that comes with most CEs with the steels from other places around the world - and if there's room, things that are not just steels either.

So far the biggest project is making the definitive AC:R CE for the US - getting pieces slowly but surely haha.

Yeah you have to have the cardboard about an inch longer at least (half inch on either/all sides minimum).

It is much more efficient then sending in a damn box for one or 2 steels... hard to find a box just the right size for that.

I suppose it is better to ask the buyer if they are willing to pay for a box the right size or pay for a box that is too big (extra weight for the extra space). Most buyers would not want this as far as money goes.

But like i said you can use a bubble mailer IF you do it right. Even done right, or in a box for that matter, things can still happen (anything is possible unfortunately).

Let's just say that if you decide to chuck a steelbook on a steam boat you probably need a little more than a bubble mailer...

Nice that you at least got some nice bits to make you feel better about your steel woes

That hardcover ACB press kit is amazing (I've seen it in detailed pics before )
