I do that also, but usually sandwich the stamp between two pieces of rigid (but not necessarily thick) cardboard ... like two pieces of a cereal box type cardboard.

Thanks, Basset Mom! I’ve done that in the past, in a padded envelope.

You could use a bubble mailer/padded envelope and use stamps instead of a shipping label. It usually takes 3 stamps or so, same price as it would be in a reinforced envelope but much more secure.

If you have any mounting type foam you can cut some the general shape of the stamp, put a piece on each side and then put packing tape around it. That always works. You can use a regular unpadded envelope for that. They always arrive unscathed.

I no longer trust the PO and put the stamp in a small box.

Is that the very thick stuff you're referring to?

yep, its also on peacock after the episode, but just's take a little time.

Those two crack me up. Im glad 'Bob the drag queen' and Rob get along after what happened.

Webfoot's OZ/PZ cut material is 1/4 inch thick.

My vote is with the people who mail using a padded envelope. If you really want it to get there, I wouldn't mail it in any way that would get run full speed through a machine with regular envelopes. If it's not going to go through the mail system as a regular envelope, then I feel like the padded envelopes are least fussy. I use PayPal shipping to get a discounted USPS postage rate for the padded envelopes. Lately it's been so dicey with micro postals in regular business envelopes that I wouldn't want to risk it with a regular-sized stamp.

I would love to go, but alas, will be out of town.

This is exactly how we do it and haven't had any issues yet.

I save the cardboard from cereal boxes just for this purpose (we mail out a lot of stamps).

Fun fact: the material used for cereal boxes is called chipboard. It’s also used for bakery boxes, notebooks, and more.

Come to Richmond! We'd love to see the show!

We still have some of the Stampeaz stuff, but there isn't any PZ or OZ. Mainly we have Tan Z. I will send you a message.

Thank you, everyone, for the tips! My husband just got a package with some thin foam in it, so I snagged it and will sandwich the stamp in it before mailing in a small padded mailer. I don’t like to carve, so I want to give my stamp a good chance of survival to avoid recarving!

If a Kleenex box has a pretty design, I’ll reuse it for logbook covers.

I need to check out PayPal shipping!

Check out Pirate Shipping also. I just saved over $2 on a small package I sent.

I've shared this before, but this is the rabbit I found while letterboxing in 2019 on my birthday: https://www.atlasquest.com/gallery/view-album.php?albumId=4976

Mr. Bones will be with us 7 years in October. He has a girlfriend, Cheeto.

A pirate walks into a bar and realizes he's wearing his eyepatch on the wrong eye.

On his 80th birthday, a pirate says, "Aye, Matey!".

A pirate brings a pencil to the ship in case he needs to draw his sword.

What is a pirate’s favorite letter? A: You’d think it be the "R," but his true love is the "C".

So sweet! Was he tame when you found him? And we need pics of Cheeto now!

But you will no longer be able to blame shipping for . . .er . . .ah . . .never mind

;)

I’m planning to attend the DC show. See you there!

I already had my email planned:

“You never got the stamp/it arrived but was unrecognizable? Dang, that was the best stamp I ever carved—it looked like a nosox carve! Now I’ll have to do a quick replacement carve. Sorry!”

Yay!! Excited to see you there!
