As a buyer myself, I am amazed how some sellers will ship in those thin gray/silver bags to save money, even with fragile items. When I do have items that are light & not fragile I will use padded envelopes. For all other items, I use boxes with insurance at no additional cost. For very fragile items, I will ship a box within a box. This extra mail order safety protocol is included in the shipping quote. Tracking is included with everything I sell.
