Want to Sell Heads Up to Sellers RE Shipping and USPS

If shipping items subject to water damage (such as blades), may want to enclose in water proof bag.  USPS hit a new low; after taking weeks to get a shipment of blades, the package was literally soaked including free water inside the box.  While without visible damage, can not imagine the blades are going to hold out long enough to be used as wrappers are soaked.  The biodegradable peanuts inside the box were almost completely broken down about 10% of their original size.  How this much water was able to accumulate is beyond reason other than they were literally left in the elements for days along the way.  Fair warning.  Know it changes how am wrapping and shipping boxes henceforth.  Be careful out there, systems breaking down rapidly

Exactly why I often use ziplock bags for things. Nice PSA Dan

Great info but shouldn’t this be in general shaving talk

Yikes. I have 300 blades enroute from the other side of the world. Should be here next week and I'm wondering how mutilated they'll be.

Thanks for the heads up Dan. Things just keep getting worse and worse.

Was thinking this the place where people buying and selling most likely to land prior to shipping. Frankly am surprised and horrified things have gotten this bad at USPS. One thing to take weeks for mail and perhaps be exposed to rain BUT clearly this box was left in the rain for at least a solid day, at least, maybe submersed in water

However Dan you are not Buying, selling or trading anything

Perhaps here as well as General Shave Section ?

My perspective is it should be made a "sticky" in BST
