    Shipping valuables. Here's a neat article.

    I was a Yuletide package-loading zombie for UPS. Now I'm here to tell you how to make sure that Xbox or envelope full of cash you're shipping arrives in one piece.



    In light of a tragic shipping of a vintage Mego, I went hunting for the article I was reading a week or so ago - found it.
    I thought it was clever how claims could be denied if the proper tape was not used…even more interesting was the cooler idea.

    We recently had a package come to us that - at first glance, I thought the shipper was major OCD - moreso than myself even.
    It was a small item, that was in a large box.
    Within that box, was a good two inches of packing peanuts surrounding a second box.
    Inside that second box, was a little red cooler.
    Inside that cooler was the item all snug as a bug in packing peanuts.

    After reading that article though, I felt bad I assumed the sender was OCD (like me)….but clearly, the item was valuable and he/she must have been down the path before where something got busted and they bit the bullet because Insurance found a loophole to avoid paying on a claim.

    I certainly will consider something like the cooler if I ship an item that is quite expensive…could be the best $5 ever spent.
