if i got records shipped like this, i would take your address, ship myself to your house in a big box, and punch you square in the nose when you opened me up

store guy here,

Please don't use pizza boxes. Ever.

Even if they're clean, there's still the thought they might not be. You don't want those thoughts from your buyers.

This is weird, because I ship pizzas in record mailers.

[–]ponimaju 2 points3 points ago

Did you at least make sure the box was free from static before shipping the 'za?!?!?

[–]minimumrockandrollel cheapo Technics 0 points1 point ago

Of course! I actually cook the pizza over the warm glow of a McIntosh tube amp. Then each one gets zapped with a Milty electrostat gun and put in the mailer. I use an old, crappy pizza as a stiffener, then off it goes!

I've heard sending records in pizza boxes is a big no-no...not secure enough.

[–]i_am_omega 5 points6 points ago

That works as long as you make sure the box is clean and grease free. I've always kept my boxes from buying records online and reused them. Never had to buy one.

sorry, but no. this is a stupid idea.

hopefully you're gonna explain how you securely packaged the records inside that huge pizza box, otherwise everyone is about to shower you with insults haha just giving you fair warning

I always get sent pizza boxes from Italian sellers.

buy boxes on ebay in bulk. buy 100, don't think about it again.

....this is a joke, right?

If you're going to cheap out and pass on those "expensive" boxes, you could at least build your own secure mailers out of clean cardboard. Go to a supermarket or retail store and ask for some empty boxes; or check your local craigslist for free moving boxes. Break them down and build yourself some half-decent mailers.

I just reuse mailers from records I ordered.

that works if you have a one-in-one-out and only buy online. I sell more online and buy more in person so reusing only goes so far.
