well i decided to take pics and post them of the process of packing up a windstone..this one is my hatching empress that is being sent to purple cat today
..firs i wrap the windstone in enough bubblewrap to prevent it from being harmed if jostled at all..but i wrapped it in just enough so i would not have to force it into its box..i then wrap the box in 16 layers of bubble wrap and tape it on all sides going around the entire box..i then cover the bottom of the larger box in large bubble bubble wrap before placing the small box inside of it and then dumping packing peanuts over it and ont he sides..then..to add extra padding on top and the sides i again add about 16 layers of bubble wrap..heres a couple pics to show a few steps
the dragon within the extremely padded box

the packing peanuts on the sides and over the little box

and finally last layer of bubble wrap added for extreme protection

Do you double box? I shipped two mom dragons like that when I first joined the forum. The one that went to Arlla still ended up chipping. I was amazed, since I felt it was packed very well. I double box everything (Pretty much) now.
