I'm an environmentally conscious seller. Whenever possible, I use recycled boxes packing material. For the packing I must purchase (such as packing foam), I buy in bulk from a large wholesale supplier locally and always pass the savings onto my customers. I trust that you understand and that, as an earth conscious optimist, you support this environmentally friendly effort.

Packing of Machines...
All machines shipped that do not come in their original box with a value of over $250 USD are packed in expanding foam to keep the shipping gremlins at bay. This is an expensive way to pack machines, but is Sssoooo worth it & it keeps them protected from damage!
The New Box:

Weight tested boxes used to insure the box can handle the weight of the machine. Some high value machines are double boxed to insure safe travel.
The Foam Before Expansion:

Instapak Quick packing foam is used to package the machine. Two - three packages are used on the base of box depending on the weight and needs of the machine. Some low priced machines will not be packaged with foam - the shipping charge alone would be more than the value of the machine.
The Bubble Wrapped Box:

Bubble wrap is used on the bottom, sides and top of the box to provide a soft cushiony ride for the machine and to prevent damage. The Instapak Quick foam (as needed) is then placed between the machine and the bubble wrap. Bubble wrap is also used to secure and protect other accessories that my be included with the machine.
The machine and foam, after expansion:

The machine is completely surrounded with the foam and bubble wrap to insure a safe trip!
The Securely Packaged Box:

More bubble wrap and/or Instapak Quick foam is then used to protect the top of the machine. Sometimes, Instapak Quick foam is also used on the top of the box, but again is used as needed to insure the machine is packaged properly!
The Packed Box:

~Machine in packing photos is for sample only. The actual machine you are bidding on is listed in the above auction~
Lastly, the machine is taped closed and fragile stickers are placed on the box.
No warranty given or implied.
