[78-L] Dop a-bary dealers usually follow your packing instructions?

[buster]

I just got my first-ever package of records from some guy named Paul  
Solarski in Tennessee. A decent pile of tunes for a decent price on  
eBay, but when I politely asked him for a description of how he packs  
and ships, he got all huffy and said he's been shipping records for 30  
years.

Well guess what?  He needs another few years to get it right. He got  
the sandwich part right, but then he dumped it into a box of partially  
pulverized styrofoam peanuts, with no bag to isolate it.

So I got to spend another half hour vacuuming. Nice job, Pauly.
