Always fill empty spaces! Cups should be upright...put some wrap inside the cup handle for stability....bring the bubble wrap up and into the empty space of cup. This also protects the rim.
For those reading, do not rely on "this side up" packing, the carrier absolutely will not honor that. First, a large part of the box movement will be automated on belts and machines and your box will be flipping all around, second, carriers will not apply special handling without charging you more.
I agree with putting the smaller boxes into a larger box ,but items should have at least 2 inches between them and the box in case of the sides of the larger box taking a hit. Plus if it's insured,and sent with UPS,they will not find in your favor should you have to file a damage case if there was not those 2 inches of protection.
I have always heard there is less pressure on dishes in boxes when you place them upright instead of stacked the way you would put them in a cabinet. Another words, on their sides upright when you wrap and place them in a box. Do you know if that is true?
Not sure. We find double boxing pretty effective either way but I would bet if you double box with bubble wrap and peanuts and place in the vertical position that is probably best
We take the labels off. Try to use the product called UnDo ;) works like magic. Cost of shipping depends on the destination. Can go anything from $50 to $200.
Did you do calculated shipping and would you recommend ups or USPS I can get those boxes for free from USPS and do it them same way without extra charge and what shipping should I pick if I do it through ebay
