Very informative and educational post. It should be required reading for anybody who ever ships anything. Neither party wanted a problem to occur. Businesses that ship a lot learn from experience what can happen in the process and develop their packaging to reduce problems. Nowadays with almost every collector also an occasional seller you never know what kind of packaging you’ll be getting in the mail. An inexperienced shipper will package things with care thinking their method is safe. They won’t find out their method isn’t safe until they have a problem. Then they’ll adjust how they package to help keep the problem from happening again. While it might be common preventive measure to experienced shippers to tape a self sealing box, it might have never occurred to somebody that hasn’t heard about it happening before that they could ever pop open.
