SHIPPING

[Giles]

And because I am a complete and utter bastard, I describe where we are now as "base camp"….expect things to get better.....

Got mine in one of them new bags as well… Carefully cut it open on the side and will def be recycling... Great idea. But I for one wouldn't mind if the garment was placed directly into the paper bag instead of using another 2 blue bags... It would def work for shirts, the bags are thick enough I reckon...

[Madame Buttonfly]

Yeah, I’ve been super-cautious to start with… I’m starting to pack shirts first in thin clear plastic bags (rather than heavy blue), and I’m generally packing the paper bags inside an outer plastic bag (free UPS bags outside of Europe), but I am probably over-doing it (me being Mrs Safe - can’t help myself!)

Thanks very much for feedback,,,,,M8ey (guess who?)

[Seul]

Nah see I get like that myself when I'm shipping things… I understand...

[Finn666]

think it´s time to check out the new shipping bags in person…hmmmmmmm, what should i order?  :-\

[Dirty Denim]

Finn they are top notch man…a pleasant surprise

Call me a tree-hugging hippy, but I hope you're using recycled paper.

[Giles]

No idea.  My primary concern when sourcing these was cost.  Whichever way you cut it, the new packaging costs a lot more, not just in materials but also in time and effort.  When we come to restock the sacks, I'll look for recycled….

No, Tetsu.

[Giles]

No actually this design is by Tetsu, it was he who did the design for the Gosport Tee and the IHT-1209 and IHT-1209.  VO did take the original AI file and rerender for me in something that the stamp makers understood….

[Chris]

So we're both right (or wrong, if you're going to be obnoxious about it).;)

[rocket]

Anyone ever heard of crossflight.com?

I'm in the industry and never heard of them but that's how one of my packages is coming from the UK

[Giles]

Never heard of them…..

Look at this shit.  Seven days and the fucking package is still in NYC.  What goes on in that Sort Facility? Packages leave through the exit door and arrive again at the entrance?

I read yesterday that the US Postal Service lost $12 billion last year.  Billion with a "B".  Not surprising.
