I wonder if he has insurance for them….

or if he orders priceless heirlooms from the Franklin Mint, just for the package?

Yep. The priceless heirlooms ARE boxes! Of course, they, the Franklin Mint, will have to box them up for shipping: thus presenting our hero with a real conundrum. Does he unpack them or not?

I used to have a “box collection” I kept for shipping things. I had to take it to recycling when I moved.

Just yesterday the missus was sayin’: "you have too much stuff, like boxes to ship things in and tissue paper to wrap things in, etc., etc. not even new things that you bought. I know.

In my experiance, boxes of my paperwork are heavier than many other things. I have fewer boxes saved than I used to because grandkids are grown past the point where they liked the collections of toys that I used to fix for them (and Cuddles cockatoo liked to play in some on her floor). I still use some of the sturdiest big ones to ship my stuff when flying to see my man (good to know the stuff arrives untampered, unbroken and on time – sure not paying for the airlines to mess with it! Now that they overfill the seats they get a change to mess with my “carryon” (broke a wheel last time) because I had to check it (being one of the last to board).

Light airy flat rate boxes, so cheap, and yet so difficult for mailmen to carry a tall stack in windy Chicago…. >:-}

That guy must be my wife’s brother. I hear that kind of thing runs in the family.
