Without padding, things can get quite disheveled and the box can more easily tear, during transit. Please remember to pad it a bit and tape the box — both on the bottom and top.

When a shipping box has some “play” inside, the box’s structural integrity suffers. It’s inevitable that during transit boxes get tossed about a bit.

Sometimes we receive them with tear in the corner or side of box. If you pad out those corners and edges some, it both helps protect your material and adds some fortitude to the box.

Rest assured — in our history no box has been so damaged that any precious family memories have fallen out of the package or gotten notably damaged, during their trip to us. FILMFIX seems to be a special name and the carriers really do take note of the contents!

In fact, we have a 100% track-record for receiving every package sent to us in all our years in business, when using a carrier that provides a “tracking number.” That’s an astoundingly reassuring record, we think!
