After paying a premium for shipping and handling, the shipping was okay, the handling sucked. I had 10 small boxes of staples in a larger shipping box with no filler or even old crumpled newpapers to take up the extra space. Upon opening I found some of the cartons had come open and were all over the inside. They were to be used in a hammer tacker so individual broken ribbons of staples were useless. Poor planning on their part.
