For those of you who are familiar with the Ziploc "disposable" plastic containers: how comfortable would you be with wrapping them in brown paper and mailing them without another box around them? I really don't want to have to get a set of boxes and fill them with crumpled newspaper around the containers if I can help it. They seem at least as sturdy as a shoebox, but![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
markgritter said he probably wouldn't mail a shoebox, and I totally would, so now I don't know. (I have a markgritter home!) Do you think the postal service will crush them into oblivion, more so than a cardboard box? It's not worth it to have the people who are getting boxes get crushed remnants of what I meant to send. That's not the goal at all.

2) The postal service is finicky. I think they'd be more finicky about plastic containers than boxes.
