[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2187019, member: 115658"] I avoid sending anything heavy via USPS in cardboard. What's the limit for priority mail - 70 lbs?. When I do use the USPS, I encapsulate the entire outside works/cardboard with heavy duty transparent shipping tape and the contents like bullets are in sealed plastic bags, stuck inside box. Some time ago I ordered a box of 100 bullets from a well known bullet/shooting supply source for shipment via USPS priority mail; normally the expected delivery time would be 3 days or less, after 2 weeks no bullets, then on day 15 a small USPS priority mail carboard box is left at my mail box locker - the box looked like it went thru a cement mixer, all scuffed up, dirty gray, with corners smashed flat & about to fall open (not quite). Some time ago I was helping a gun-smith by performing gofer work. A friend of the smith had a relative who worked for the USPS & one day the friend showed up with a Weatherby MK whatever (multiple locking lugs) bolt that had fallen out of some package. [/QUOTE]
