How do you guys Package your steel books for shipping?

[dfoles]

I will typically put the steelbook into a white shipping box from Zavvi.
Then I wrap that box bubblewrap, and put it in the final shipping box.

I recently got a bunch of awesome sturdy boxes at work, so some of you Ninjas that trade/buy from me will have a nifty surprise:

After this of course I wrap it for shipping.

I have taken the Kimchi approach to packaging for the most part these days, it may cost a little more, but I know it'll arrive safe. I sent one to a member on here recently, it took 17 days to reach Ireland from England, but was perfect inside.

In the past I used bubble mailers packed securely in a box. Now I use an ample amount of bubble wrap, throw in some air pillow packets and ship it in a USPS Priority box.

I scratch the buyers name on the front with a rusty nail, then give it a good once over with sandpaper to remove any dust or finger prints, before throwing it at the Post Office staff.

I call it the "Zavvi Delivery Method"

You're forgetting to slash the spine

If I have a good strong box from something else I used that but I recently bought some 'premium' steelbook boxes and use loads of bubble wrap. Also tape the whole box up with parcel tape to try and prevent any dings from going through the box.
