Shipping.... shoe box>!?

[Al Neri]

I just sold something on eBay... I just realized I don't have a box to ship it in... Is it ok to ship it in a shoe box or should I wait for tomorrow.

things to note: the USPS box is the only thing open right now, UPS is not open and theres no fedex or dhl near here.

what are you selling? is it fragile? how big is it?

 

[Yossarian]

did you sell a shoe?

Well let's just say that you're going to have to pack that baby WELL.

Besides, if you plan on insuring it, some shipping companies require a certain amount of padding around the item to qualify for insurance above a certain amount.

*cough*
I got some stuff shipped from a rather shady etailer in a large huggies box, so a shoebox can't be that bad. As long as the contents are protected, it shouldn't really matter.
