AKICILJ, Nth iteration

(That's "All Knowledge Is Contained In LiveJournal," for those of you who weren't already familiar with AKICIF.)

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 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.

I think the problem there is not the tin but the cookies. Cookies don't ship well. If you put them in a squishy box, they get squashed. If you put them in a firm box (like a tin), they get shaken around against the hard edges and become crumbs. So I'm not shipping cookies. Candy only.
