It's unbelievable how some people who like Filofaxes would be so lousy at packaging them. Isn't it common sense to package something you care about/are selling properly?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02924634980429526085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-5999584015065860522013-03-25T15:27:18.845-04:002013-03-25T15:27:18.845-04:00Great tips, Steve.

When I purchased books, some of the sellers weren't as careful. It was disappointing to receive damaged books.pattygardner.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08465166654988101342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-33135964498862953932013-03-25T10:44:07.636-04:002013-03-25T10:44:07.636-04:00very informative and helpful thank you!very informative and helpful thank you!Leeshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16612014983015245411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-55346986783242499422013-03-25T10:14:22.019-04:002013-03-25T10:14:22.019-04:00Excellent advice on packing the middle of the Filo...Excellent advice on packing the middle of the Filofax to make a pages-sized support to protect the rings.

My stuffed A5 is 900g.<br />New price is £2.60.<br /><br />Old First Class is £2.70, new is £3.00. Unless you are sending Filofaxes with a seriously fat paper fill, it's more expensive for the equivalent service from Monday.lbffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04173063700483747638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-31317249207608006122013-03-25T08:34:37.370-04:002013-03-25T08:34:37.370-04:00Some really good suggestions/guidelines for packag...Some really good suggestions/guidelines for packaging and mailing.
