Great idea on the nylon/reinforced tape!

I recently sent a package to my soldiers in Afghanistan and it arrived in just under one week. That was scary.

When I started shipping to the troops two years ago, the average time frame was 2 weeks (whether Iraq, Kuwait or Afghanistan).

EVERYTHING goes in ziploc bags, even though I tape up all the box seams on the outside. And flat rate priority boxes (7.70 postage) are the best invention since sliced bread.
