Some might disagree but I now get most of what I sell now professionally packaged (pack and send) Yes it might add $20-30 to postage but I'm of the belief that it is probably just as imporant as insurance and if you have to make a claim on your insurance just whip out the packing receipt and then there is really little question that it is well packed. I only do this for delicate and/or more expensive items.
