How to ship packages from home
Choose a suitable box and pack your item (s).
Your box should fit your item (s) well. It shouldn't be too large, but there should be space for padding on all sides of the item (s).

Select from:
(1). If your item is of poor quality or if its shipping is expensive, a better place to ship it is down the street. A shoebox box will be better, unless you're a service person.;
(2). Think carefully about what kind of fit you want for your item. Is your item going to be big or small? If packing your item (s) is too small, you won't be able to bridge a gap or stain the item.;

(4). For padding, you might use newspaper, packing peanuts, bubble wrap, and so on. If you don't have a box, you might be able to salvage one for free from you workplace.;
