I answer all questions as accurately as I can...

My Shipping Practices: Records ship outside of their cover encased in a new 3-mil poly bag; ship in a NEW record mailer at 200lb test; cardboard or bubbled inserts used; all record mailer seams taped with non-rip Nylon tape; laser printed shipping and return address labels used with clear-tape-over each label for added adhesiveness; large RED 'FRAGILE' stamped front and back of mailer--overall, a professional packaging job as I would want to receive for the records I purchase....
