| I wonder if that's why you also get mail that's been ripped, opened, etc. |

| Exactly why you mail that's been ripped, open etc. The sorter or whatever got jammed and presto, ripped magazines, envelopes and yes the infamous shredded envelope that then gets a human touch. It's put in a plastic bag, sealed by the post office and a "letter, note", of apology is added to the remains of the envelope. That's called progress folks. I'll stick with the padded bubble mailer.

| So that explains why all my SASE w/ seed come back w/ the bottoms ripped out! You'd think if the envelope was bulged or something it would be put in a hand sorted pile or something. I mailed some counter samples for my husband not too long ago, and the customer called saying she thought they opened it for inspection. The same day I got seeds and the bottome was ripped out just like the envelope she recieved. |

| I wish everyone would use bubble envelopes. I always do, but forgot to request that my trade partners do the same. As a result 80% of the seeds I received this week arrived crushed beyond recognition :( A card is pretty, but it will not protect your seeds. The recipient just ends up with a pretty card with permanent indents from where the seeds were and smashed powder for seeds. |

| i know what ya mean, i have so many bubble envi's its pathetic!! i keep all of them that i get, and just reuse them! i have i don't know how many from last year! and how many did i get of my seed that were in bubbly's compared to what i sent out? i tell ya, i did learn that SOME seeds were NOT meant to be sent in envelopes that were not padded, someone sent me four o'clocks in them, ERRRR 2 made it. that was ok i had many more that came out of it, so i was still very happy!! **big smile** ~medo |

Whenever I think of seed crushing mail sorters I get this mental image of two postal workers dressed in blue jumping up and down on bubble envelopes that they have thrown on the floor.

| Once I had a BE arrive and it had a black tire track on one side. It had been a long time in getting here, but the bubbles protected the seeds just fine. Sue |

| Wow, so glad you posted this. I didn't realize until seeing this how important a bubble mailer is to protect seeds I'm sending and receiving. Thank you! ;) |
