Have you ever wondered which side of the bubble wrap goes toward the item being
shipped? So I went on-line and looked it up. The flat side goes towards the
item. The bubbly part towards the box.
Also, do not contact U-line or any other bubble wrap sources and ask for a refund
because 17 bubbles in the roll were popped. Customer service was not very nice
to me when I asked.

What?!? I have been doing it wrong for years! Oh well, I'm too far in to
change now.

Yeah but both of you are wrong.

Bubble wrap is fragile... we put it inside the package and the LEGO parts outside
to protect it; it's far smarter and safer!


BTW - now I remember Slim Pickins' packagings... they could easily survive
a nuke!

Cheers

Wait! Isn't bubble wrap made to protect just the packing box and shipping
label (against rain)?

May I gently suggest that you try a different supplier of shipping supplies.

You're kind. I would strongly suggest finding a different supplier.

Yes but if you pop all the bubbles it takes up much less space
