Jg. Yep North Dakota. Cool!. I guess you'll know what I'm talking about when I tell you Burger Queen and Pizza has gone out of business and so has WeBe Pizza. I loved WeBe's. Can't believe it.

Oh, and Welcome to the forum!.

Those boxes are great (much better than the flat rate envelopes) and I use them to ship rolls and small amounts of bulk coins all the time. They aren't THAT strong, though; I would recommend that when using those boxes after you pack and label it completely wrap the box in plastic clear tape. Leave no seam exposed. After I do that I feel confident about shipping!

If your handy with simple tools...

Here is a suggestion that I do when I ship flat rate of certain heavy items or smaller expensive items that need a bit more sturdiness. It's a bit of extra work and may seem like overkill but it serves a purpose.

Go to local Lowes etc and purchase a sheet of Lu-an ("door skin's")about $8.00 +/- (One skin goes a long way..) Cut 6 sections to inside dimension of shipper. Glue sections to inside of shipper. Insert item to be sent pack as normal with foam etc. Put in place last section glue the edges. Close shipper and tape like their is no tomorrow and send.

This does make a great improvement to the durability of the package from rough handling. It makes things difficult for the Bic Pen inspection (They stab the side of box to facilitate a look inside). It also makes it very clear that someone broke into it to steal the item.

Peace ST~

Man, sorry to hear that! For the life of me I will NEVER understand people shipping ANY rolls in a freakin envelope! I've had two problems this year already with idiots trying to be cheap and shipping me rolls in an envelope, in on case the rolls were totally GONE and in the other case a roll was missing.

SHIP ROLLS IN A BOX OR DON'T SHIP THEM!

Why would anyone send those in an envelope
Put heavy items or expensive coins in a box
Contact the seller first, sometimes, a little communication goes a long way. Next step would be to file a claim.
