Shipping boxes

I couldn't find the other topic on this, so move as needed.

How do you prefer to ship, or recieve, boxes you seller buy? Flattened or pay the extra if the seller allows, to have them shipped in a bubble-envelope?

Flattened and sandwiched between two pieces of sturdy cardboard if possible. Also ask the PO employe to put one of those orange "do not bend" stickers on it.

In a priority mail box.

Put them in one with lots of space and some newspaper or dry plastic bags so that you can't hear anything moving around when you shake the box.

Flattening is too complex for most sellers.
