Shout out here. I’ve received a couple letters like this and thought, damn thats good. If washers/ flips are effective for protection of cargo, then the cardboard w/ cutouts is that extra bit that smooths it all out to look like a cohesive unit for more stealth and keep everything in place for the rollers to not cause a problem.
I ask for Hand Canceling… no seeds have been harmed, so far
I also have had 100% success with washers and flips in a card. I have mailed hundreds.
Thanks man!! I used the freezer box cardboard, its thicker and you can load seeds into the hole.
I absolutely love the cardboard, so when you get seeds you can store the seeds anyway you like when you get them.
Flip coins are cool too.
Well, at least your hose won’t leak haha.
You should have a packing material giveaway haha.
You can get a dollar hair brush and pull the bristle pad out fill with packs put the hair bristles back in and send
Wait, does that go in a just standard long business envelope with 1 stamp?
Yep, I believe so @Gonzo . It made it from Canada to the USA and was around 25 grams.
Another plug for washers and flips from me. Hose washers are very cheap in bulk. I like the self adhesive flips when I can find them.
On a rare occasion, I have had a roller tear apart my letter. A strip of packing tape across the back seems to prevent that from happening.
That’s incredible, love that tech
Do y’all really spend money on more expensive envelopes than business style to send seeds?
Just curious…
I really like these brown paper cards. I can compost them just like brown paper bags and cardboard.
Yeah, I went through many varieties before settling on these. They take more abuse, are cheap and like you say, compostable. Just the best option for me personally.
I bought some of these. Obviously not the best route if you’re trying to get away with regular stamps. Sent three in an envelope cost 5 bucks. Got em at the dollar store
Got told a funny story about those once.
Guy looks in the mirror. Sees one pupil is really enlarged and the other is not, a condition called anisocoria, which is usually not a benign thing. Sees his doctor. Gets all the works done, everything checks up, nothing comes out, doctor’s at a total loss.
Then he remembers his roommate had stored some cocaine in one of his lens boxes before.
I use 3d printed pucks, coin flips with washers or special containers I purchase for Co-op runs. All will fit in a standard envelope without going past the width restrictions.
I think because of the thickness, they considered these contact lens cases in an envelope to be a Package, not a Letter. They are def. sturdy and crush-proof though.
Yeah they did. Not really a good option for sending to multiple people but solid little cases.
