My biggest pet-peeve in shipping is TAPE.

I have received packages that had enough tape wrapped around them it could have kept the Titanic afloat !!!

Then you pull and tug, and hope you're not bending the card. Or you give up and pull out the razor blade, and hope you don't cut something, like the card or your wrists.

I once dis-entombed a card from such a taped package. I thought I was free and clear of all stickiness. I pulled the card out of the sleeve, and it caught on a small, unseen piece of tape, and pulled of a nice chunk of the back -- man was I a unhappy camper.
