    Nope, not me. I use a ton of foam padding, bubble bags, and bubble wrap.

    I've gotten a diaper box before. Recently I received a box that was a case of hard cider before. Big logo on the front and everything, don't know how it got through Fedex but it did.

    Where do you get the foam?

    People need to realize that boxes don't last forever and like IPAs have a shelf life. That box was clearly past it's prime or took a helluva beating on the trip. Reusing boxes is good, but they don't last forever.

    From work. We use it to protect circuit cards. It looks like this stuff here, but it comes in a 15" x 15" piece:

    I believe you were packing based on USPS "fall out" speed. For FedEx and UPS the acceptable "fall out" speed is 120mph.

    My first BIF got returned to me, one bottle broken. It had a few softball holes and legit forklift tracks all over one smashed and flattened corner.

    I sent a Ziplock 4Pk gallon box with a growler in it to PA. Fit perfectly and had tons of packing material in it. I think my RS guy thought WTF?

    Cheers!
