"The secret life of boxes and envelopes" Topic

I am often amused at the travels boxes in which I receive figures have had – they are often better travelers than I. As I peel away the multiple layers of address labels and tape, I've seen boxes that started say, from Eureka in Australia, carrying presumably figures to a guy in Norway who used the box to send something to someone in Chicago, who used the box to send something to someone in San Diego, who used it to ship something to Harrisonburg which receiver then used it do send me some nice Greek Hoplites.

I cannot help smile to think about what must have filled that cube each time.

I've had one package go back and forth between a repeat commission customer and myself five times now. It's getting a little tatty, but I think I can eke another pass out of it. :)

Very green.

When you get a good shipping box you hold onto it in order to use it again.

Boxes for figures shipping are hard to find, so you reuse them (or use them as long term lead mountain storage, that works too.

I always destroy the old labels before attaching new ones. Don't need the names of my suppliers getting out into the wild :)
