USPS - "We Care............We still rifle through your packages.......but we do care"

Dave-- we are pretty careful about what crosses the borders of Texas.

Is it is the cardboard tubes with plastic caps that you're using? If it is, I stopped using those years ago. The only bats I've ever lost came out of those tubes. The caps are prone to cracking and unless heavily taped it's too easy for a crooked employee to simply pop an end cap and see what is inside.

I also don't send anything by first class. Priority mail only. It's faster and keeps the packages in the mail stream a shorter time.

I don't ship anything as heavy as a bat, mostly posters and oversized supplements. Uline tubes are pretty sturdy for that, and I do heavily tape the end caps.
