But I know in other parts of the US there is major job losses going on. It's been wonderful having those giant sheet of really good quality wrappable stuffs. Unfortunately most of my frames arrive in sticks (chop moulding that is unassembled) but my foamcore boxes works well for shipping once trimmed to size. I have also occasionally been known to do a little dumpster diving (also at furniture store) for boxes. :) Hello All

Sloan Tue, 03 Feb 2009 02:17:55 +0000 http://mona.myartbliss.com/post/shipping-green#comment-2128 You're so right about free packing materials. They are good high quality supplies, something good just arrived intact in them, why not save them and use them? I've got a giant bag of bubble wrap including some pretty big pieces out in the garage and am starting a new stack in here. I saved some of the pillows on the off chance I'd need them to pack around art too. I'll bet the frames you order come in wonderful packing -- just put the art in the frame and reassemble the package the frame was in. Good green idea! It's funny about this economy. The entire panic is being caused by a general trend for people to stop spending foolishly and save a bit more. Not even a lot. It went up from something like 2.4% of "disposable income" which I presume means what's left after mortgage and bills, to 3.6% of "disposable income. I look at my savings and I'm putting away a much higher percentage than that every month, or the amount would be pathetic. It would be different if I were earning a middle class income I suppose.
