Rick,
Completely agree. The card was sent in a $1.30 mailer, charged me triple that for shipping and I'd probably of paid a few bucks more to ensure it doesn't arrive in pieces.
The problem is sometimes it works. Actually most of the time. I think USPS needs to break everything that is sent in the cheap mailers so people will use the appropriate methods for shipping

.
I sold some camera equipment about 2 months back and the buyer sent me like a half dozen instructions on how he wanted it shipped. I was somewhat offended but after getting the Angry Man in pieces, I can see the benefit.
