Title: Implementing a Standard Shipping Proceedure
Post by: Agrus Kos, Enforcer of Truth on July 31, 2013, 07:36:08 PM
With all of the people complaining about trading mis-haps lately I was thinking that maybe we should make a standard procedure for shipping cards. Nothing major just some stuff like the cards should be sleeved, the envelope should include cardboard or a hard toploader and if you use a moderator you should include a stamped envelop to cut down on postal problems.

I have a thread on this, the accepted method is a card in a sleeve, in a toploader with the top taped, then taped in a standard envelope
This is my preferred method of shipping unless the trade is high value or can't be shipped effectively because of the amnt of cards.

I have made so many trades on here, it's not cost effective to always ship in bubble mailers w/ tracking.

I don't want to be a prick but silent has already addressed this... you cannot force someone to ship in a certain way... it's against the iMTG law... you on the other hand can ship any way you want to... no one is stopping you from doing whatever you feel is right... personally I use a bubble wrap envelope for every trade... it costs a little more but it gives me peace of mind

It's just that with all of the people complaining "the mailman stole my cards" and "there were problems with how many stamps" and everything else maybe we should develop a protocol that isn't a big pain but is more full-proof.

Do you mean fool-proof?

Yeah thanks Wally, I have never typed or written "fool-proof".
