(Tutorial) Steelbook Shipping

flatout · #1 07-16-2013, 02:26 AM

I had mentioned a picture Tut I had made for a seller who kept sending me damaged steels and could not understand what I meant about how to ship them cheaply and safely and Lowly suggested i post it (I assume here but Lowly mentioned the help section but I could not find it).

This is a picture guide on how i ship steels in bubble envelopes (this method would be good for extra protection even if you use a box).

This is a great tut to show sellers as they are always reluctant to offer better shipping becasue they are afraid you mean a box and it will cost them a lot more. But with this method you get the protection of a box with the cheaper shipping of an envelope.

Thanks!

Thank Lowly too as I never really thought to add it here.

It is a great way to ship steels cheaply and safely, also a great picture tut to show sellers how you want your steelbook shipped to you.

Geez, I didn't think it'd be that hard to people to know how to pack something properly.

Nice post flatout, but stuff like this should be common sense, not rocket science...

You have no idea how many times i have gotten damaged items in the post (just in the past couple months) due to poor packaging.

A lot of people just do not understand the dangers of shipping.

And most people seem to not understand what I mean when I tell them to cover either side with cardboard. When I say that they say "it will cost more to ship in a box"... like that is what I said or something.

Unfortunately on almost everything I buy I make sure the seller is going to ship it properly and tell them how I think they "were going to ship it all along but i want to be sure" (I say it that way to be less patronizing). Even then some still ship a skimpy and cheaply as possible.
