The items being packaged are all neat shapes and have no projections or areas that need extra protection. I'd like to see the machinery operate with some awkward shaped items with sections that can be easily damaged. You need extra padding protection for sharp edges and delicate sections of goods.

 

I've been selling on eBay for nearly 25 years and I know I spend a heap of time figuring out the best way to pack and protect items so they can arrive undamaged after long trips where they've been used as footballs by the rock apes in the parcel handling industry.

 

One of my greatest efforts involved sending a Komatsu front end loader air conditioning condensor to an American buyer, from Perth to the Turks and Caicos Islands!

You all probably realise just how delicate A/C condensors are - but the condensor arrived in perfect condition, thanks to my careful packaging.

What I found amazing was the route the condensor took! It went Perth-Singapore-Shenzhen-Anchorage, Alaska - Kansas City - Miami - Turks & Caicos!
