I am happy to be grouped along with Bruce as a conscientious packager. Bruce definitely makes better packages than I do, which means he overdoes it because I make great packages Of course it is something borne of common sense (hey this tube is kinda flimsy) and the need to prevent damage

I very much support the notion of using recycled materials whenever possible. I see no harm whatever in saving money on package materials as long as the item is shipped safe and secure. Furthermore I don't see no problem whatever in minimizing the use of unnecessary materials and being

We never recycle in the conventional sense, but we pre-recycle. We use such great packing materials that those who receive them are able to re-send them to others. I would bet that people like Rich Halegua and Marty Davis (who order from us regularly) are able to mostly only re-use our packaging,
