Hi all, I am looking for some cardboard sheets to reinforce my instructions for
shipping. Does anyone have any ideas for places to buy these? I have found some
in my area but they are all too thin. Thanks!!

I just use regular 'ole corrugated. It's always available with the number
of packages we get from Amazon, etc. (or ask our friendly neighbors in a pinch),
seldomly puts a package into a higher weight band and it is FREE

Comic book cardboard backing often does the trick for most of them. Something
like this:

I've used cereal boxes for years without issue.

I reuse many things but avoid anything used with food. You never know what food
allergies may exist and many buyers don't like smells.

that is true but i generally only reuse the most generic cereal box with nothing
fancy or any smells and they never actually have food in them (food is in a thick
plastic bag sealed inside the box and is placed in a separate container as soon
as its removed from the cardboard) although i do know that allergies can be extremely
sensitive but if I'm not mistaken cant people have allergies for other things
for example i order some air freshener from amazon and the cut up the amazon
box for the stickers would that then also be bad as I'm sure air freshener
or deodorant is a way stronger smell then plain cheerios (yes I made absolutely
sure to avoid anything with peanuts and similar)
