CONTINUED FROM ABOVE.......Separate breakable items with two layers of cardboard that is attached to the items so they can't shift and break each other. Use heavy bubble wrap with heavy items. I am not interested in collecting insurance, so you may purchase for your protection if you wish. Insurance is NOT a substitute for quality and adequate packaging. I am happy to pay extra for shipping so that you can package properly. If you wish to take a chance and ship without these guidelines, then please understand that I will be expecting a full refund including shipping and return shipping if the item is damaged. I am a seller on ebay and these are the guidelines I follow with much success. Thank you for your care and consideration.
