Me neither, the slip I fill out does ask the contents and so I just write it on there. They never ask or look though

I get asked every time. Answer is always Collectible Bottles Under 100.00 in total value. Just pack all the beers up nice and tight and then put em all in a garbage bag.

what does everyone use for packaging? is bubble wrap sufficient? other options?

Usually a mix of bubble wrap and newspaper

i just used a bunch of bubble wrap, seemed to work just fine.

I'm lazy and just use a shit ton of newspaper. I also toss the box around a bit to simulate the fuckers at UPS and to make sure I can't notice any movement in the box.
