That’s tough man. I go through half a dozen rolls of tape every couple months, and have received messages more than once that say “man I’m glad you used so much tape, because usps beat the crap out of that box!”

I received a box a while back that wasn’t even taped shut, and contained cash for a purchase. Thankfully no one got curious, but it sure made me nervous for a bit when I realized there wasn’t a bit of tape on the box.

Tape is cheap, plentiful, and easy to use. As are paper bags for packing fodder. It’s well worth taking an extra minute to pack it right and tape it tight.
