USPS Damaged prints (important issue)

[Leikon35@aol.com]

   This is a very important issue to me & I imagine many others & I
   certainly do not want to see it dropped without further discussion.

   I have mailed out dozens of prints in various type envelopes, some
   with cardboard separators & others in just plain USPS priority mail &
   also glossy Epson photopaper greeting cards in just plain envelopes.
   I have never once heard of any of them being received damaged - but
   that doesn't necessarily mean that there hasn't been some.

   Please let's hear more about this - and just hope that this is only an
   isolated unique case.
