    • Use a Company sender description that accounts for high weight of item's such as 'Custom metal Chisel supplies'..'Custom order steel supplies Pty Ltd' etc
    This is a fantastic idea :)

    Do Not Directly Use Sticky Tape on Items.

    They leave Bad Tape Residue !

    • on coins capsules
    • on OMP
    Please Take Note..... o_O

    This used to annoy the ******* Christ out of me at Cash Convertors.
    Then someone put me onto olive oil, put a few drops onto residue let it soak in then just wipe off, works a dream.

    First time for me, 1oz round does a Houdini. After reading above post, guessing this hasn't made it through the 5mm slot for letters. Was in an open ended paper sleeve, inside envelope.

    Wow that's really bad packaging. Everybody knows the coin in capsule is around 5 mm already so it should have gone into a 20 mm thick bubble padded envelope which would have only cost an extra $1.20 for stamps and about .30c for the bubble padded envelope . Wrap the coin in some foam and place between stapled cardboard which is envelope size not only would the coin be safe from scratches and drops there is virtually no chance of it falling out of the envelope. Sorry to hear about your loss.

    Hi Stackers,

    It is sad to see how some items are just thrown in a package that is flimsy and doesn't reach its destination, or is damaged.

    Rather than concentrate on the negativity of poorly packaged items, why not run a Monthly Competition for the
    best packaged items? The Buyer could enter pics of the unboxing of the item they purchased.

    It also encourages Sellers to lift their game and is a bit of fun at the same time.
