TIP #4
Take care in packing your pieces.
By taking care to ensure your special pieces won't arrive damaged or worn from their journey to us, pack the item with care. We recommend using bubble wrap, Kraft paper, or any other packing material to give it cushion. Improper packaging can lead to additional wear to points of the item, such as corners or hardware. This is especially true when am item does not come with a dust bag.
When in doubt, use the the shake test! If sharing the package makes the item inside jiggle, consider adding more packing material.
