I now realize that the actual shipping of the knives is a big cause of anxiety for me. Using standard USPS "free" priority mail makes things a bit easier. So do domestic mailings, where I can create the stamps I need online, and then just drop off at the PO without standing in line.

While packaging the two cuda knives, I had to scrounge for the proper boxes. I found the boxes the ER knives were shipped in. They're big, but a bit too big for what I really wanted. Had to use a ton of filler in them.

I ordered some boxes that were of a more practical size, from uline.com. I placed the online order yesterday afternoon. When I came back from the post office, I was stuned to find my boxes had arrived, less than 24 hours after ordering. That was with the standard $8 shipping. I hate to think what "express" service would have gotten me.

So for $61, I now have 100 of these babies. I might just fold them with the brown side on the outside, so they don't stand out so much. They're a bit on the small side, so there's that invisible "steal me" sign on it. But they're still bigger than the USPS videotape-sized box, which I ship so many HH knives in.
