I have always double and triple packed stuff, however, I had a luger take down lever going about 20 miles away and stupidly put it into an envelope with a thicker plastic baggie - got stripped out and he received an empty envelope - $85 down the drain, they now always get put into a hard shipping boxes and taped well (which I usually do).

4 or 5 yrs ago, I bought a Jan Still book once, guy sent it priority - came right to me, then he offered 3 more, I bought them and he saved money by sending media. Although he sent them tracked. I watched them go from Illinois or wherever to Philly, then it sat and sat. I called and they said they couldn't find them. Gave them tracking numbers, and slowly watched them advance to the dead letter place in Atlanta (?) and never saw the tracking move again...
