    Bubble wrap and polystyrene chips are probably the only viable solution for non standard items. I wouldn't bother with any 'fragile' stickers as I lose track of how many supplies I have arrive in 'dinged' and 'bashed' packaging.

    Fragile on a packet is like a licence to RM to play footie with it, sadly :(

    You need to be really careful with glassware as I don't think it's covered with bog standard 1st class from RM, and I'm sure some of the couriers don't cover for breakages either, unless it's packed to their spec.

    But yes, bubblewrap and poly chips inside a sturdy box would be the way to go

    The funny thing is, since I started using fragile tape - all round the mug box, i've never had a broken one delivered.
