Ouch! Isn't it routine to have a dialog about packing method with pennants, though?

I guess for $8.33, I figured I’d get a box!

Oooh...charging high postage and using a cheap option....that's one of my pet peaves.

As an example, I try to avoid using ebay standard envelope for cards because I've had unreliable delivery with that service. The number of times that a listing shows USPS Ground Advantage and charges postage commensurate with that but I end up getting an ebay standard envelope service. Arghhhhhhh

Was your pennant OK after ironing?

It was fine. No positive feedback for the seller, though. Besides the shoddy packaging, it took him like 10 days to even get it in the mail.

Not patting myself on the back, but almost as soon as I started collecting pennants decades ago I made sure to communicate with sellers as to how they were going to be shipped, and get them to change it if I wasn't satisfied with their method. Hard to believe the uber-advanced pennants guys on this thread wouldn't be doing the same.
