Best way to ship glass bottles?

[dapperandy]

For those who sell on ebay or another method, what is the best way to ship a glass bottle? Any tips would be appreciated. Find an appropriate sized box and use lots of bubble wrap? Or is there more tricks? Also, what do you usually charge for shipping?

I use usps shoe box size, you can get them free from usps. Wrapped good with large size bubble wrap, maybe a couple air bags if needed. I don`t use paper, sometimes it packs down and will add more weight. Thats for bottles, blobs, crowns, large meds. Fruit jars are a little different, depends on size, pint-quart-1/2 gal., then you find right size box to meet your needs. It`s been covered before, i charge exact weight plus 1 dollar handling, shipping calculator does the rest. Insurance if high end. I always ship priority mail, never had a problem if packed right.
