Thanks for the demonstration!!! I was so nervous about sending a 8 inch in height pottery. My package shipped from NM to Utah safely!!!! Customer was pleased..

[@barbarahodges8835]

Thank you . I’m moving and I have a large antique vase and I’m moving. I would be devastated if it got damaged.

[@Rindutti]

Haha! Sending some glasses that's worth something like 130 dollars, but I have never sent something that fragile, and I am such a perfectionist and I think this vid was great for me to watch, pursuing the greatest kind of packaging. Thank you very much!

Ive been trying to figure out how to ship glass mason jars with a synthetic flower bouquet for weeks. This definitely helped!

[@vijiprabhu1907]

Really helpful video. I just started e-commerce business and did the packaging myself but the first product was damaged when customer received it. This video is really good learning for me. Thank you

[@RepublicMobile]

Very clean and proper packaging!I don't know why, but I can watch this all day.

There is something satisfying in seeing a well packaged package. I don't know what it is.

Thank you soooo much

Well done.

One may want to first line the bottom of the box with a layer of peanuts because there is no gaurantee that lifting any object (vase or box) once its in a box and shaking it will uniformly distribute the peanuts underneath the object (vase or box) prior to shipping. even if only a few peanuts were placed under each corner, the object would be lifted up off of the bottom surface, and may even be level... giving the system an impression of a complete bottom fill with peanuts. Shipping will undoubtedly cause a complete bottom fill, but those peanuts were initially protecting another part of the object (vase or inner box)...

[@cavsomecadence6117]

yes. Place peanuts, lift vase to let peanuts go under it, then secure corners. ...same with inner and outer box.

where do you recommend getting shipping supplies? Love this video

[@beethechange4243]

This is the best packing video. My kind of packing. Where are you located?

[@jcastro91235]

Wish I would’ve seen this video before packaging a vase. It was broken on the way.

[@williambaz213]

Perfect!.........Thanks for sharing.

[@elizabethbaumler4098]

I couldn’t figure out how you place the vase - bottom down?

[@soccer1990av]

Double up on the small bubble all around then do 1 big bubble at the end . Use a 40-13-13 box (lamp box) if the item is 9 inches you will have bout 2 inches on each side for peanuts!

[@mousharma8157]

Need your suggestions, I'm a sculpture painting artist. I need your advice How may I ship my paintings as they are some in streached canvas, some on frames. Please suggest

[@fcohen8296]

Great video. One question (if you care to answer): Shouldn't I first pour some peanuts on the bottom of the box before inserting my item?

[@ginaprisaznick6021]

I wish he answered this I was wondering the same thing.

[@fcohen8296]

@@ginaprisaznick6021 I'm not too surprised that he didn't answer being that it was so long after he originally posted the video..

[@KYSOKYSO]

It's ten years later. Packing peanuts are going the way of the dinosaur! (❁´◡`❁)

[@leamacelar3651]

Where do you buy your stuff from?

[@JeffBeaverTV]

Great results, I just don't think the set up of supplies is very good.

[@lisahiawassee]

You lost me when you placed foam and bubble wrap against the surface of those lovely vases.

[@vikismith5015]

I would never put plastic touching an item like this. Might be better to create a safe layer of paper between the item and the bubble wrap.

[@2humans1dog]

is plastic bad for the vase?

[@kristinehatkinson7323]

@@2humans1dog If there is any decoration, such as gold leaf, it can develop higher affinity for the plastic wrap than its surface. Even an aged crumbling surface might stick.

If you pack like you have a vintage cathode...

Antiques; always need little extra care while moving....

[@Wat-Dat]

Very amateurish operation you're running. I wouldn't even trust you guys to ship a phone.
