Not everything needs bubblewrap

I purchased some fabric once that arrived wrapped in bubblewrap!

A reasonable handling charge is ok and helps defray the cost of the packing materials, but it is just plain crazy and not good business to over package unnecessarily.

Of course, I would expect a crystal bowl to be packed full of peanuts, wrapped in bubblewrap and maybe even double boxed. I'd completely understand paying a few bucks over actual shipping cost too. But not everything needs that.

It just isn't fair to your buyer to charge $3.00 extra and use packing materials that aren't necessary.
