Why all the tape?

[deadballfreaK]

I got a group of cards today with a rubber band around them. Luckily they were beaters already.

I agree, put enough tape to ensure the package stays closed ... but I have literally gotten puffy envelopes, entirely wrapped in tape (top, bottom, and sides), and then you finally open it up ... and find whatever's inside wrapped in more tape.

If it takes me 10 minutes to open your package, you've put too much tape on it!

Common sense is unfortunately not common.

Cheers,
Patrick

Those are the worst... dealing with entire bubble mailer covered. then sandwiched between two pieces of cardboard, also completely covered. Then once managing to get through all of that, finding that the card is in a semi-rigid holder that is also taped shut, with the card having moved up and partially out of the holder and now also stuck to the tape...
